CHOKE
The
7 HP
Kohler
engine uses a manually
operated
choke
shown
in FULL
Choke
position
in Photo 4/29. Photos 4/30 and
4/31
show
that
when the lever is in
FULL
Choke
position, the
butterfly
closes the
air
opening
to
the
carbu-
retor, and the
choke
in the OFF
position
leaves
air
an unrestricted passage
into
the carburetor.
So, in starting a cold engine
with
FULL
choke
in use,
the
fuel
mixture
going
through
the car-
buretor
will be very rich. Be very sure
to
turn
your
choke
off
promptly
when the engine has
started. Running an engine
under
heavy
work-
loads
with
the
choke
on FULL can cause exces-
sive carbon
buildup
and
do
harm
to
the
engine.
