I just purchased a Troy-bilt Storm 2410 snowblower about a week ago.
When I start my snowblower, I turn the choke fully clockwise to close the butterfly(choke is fully on). I prime it 3-4 times and On the first or second pull it starts.
As it warms up I slowly turn the choke knob counterclockwise to open the butterfly. Unfortunately, I reach max engine rpm at about 2/3 to 3/4 choke opening. I cannot get to full open(choke is off) on the choke. The choke does not have a true on and off spot marked on the engine. There is a sticker indicating a gradation from a small, narrow wedge to a large open wedge (at this end there is a picture of a butterfly valve opened)
Is there something wrong? I have been on a tractor where it would not run if the choke was opened fully. I do not know if this is correct or if the carb is out of adjustment.
