Total Amateur Question. Which photo shows the Choke On in the Carb
Original Message   Sep 29, 2010 3:28 pm
Subject pretty much says it all. Now that I have a new unit I've been feeling brave to tinker with the old MTD I have. After looking online and at various YouTube videos, I've cleaned out the carb and the machine starts now on the first pull. However, since I'm new to all of this...can you tell me in which photo/link is the Choke ON...and in which photo/link is the Choke OFF ( normal engine running position)? This is a carb on an older 5 HP Tecumseh engine. I apologize for the low quality photos. Thanks http://i792.photobucket.com/albums/yy203/spartanagm/Choke1.png http://i792.photobucket.com/albums/yy203/spartanagm/Choke2.png

Yea.

Choke ON = plate (hole) closed.

Choke OFF = plate (hole) open.

Thanks for the answer. I figured as much but would have felt dumber not knowing for certain.
