Where is the choke on a leaf blower?
The choke is located before the throttle, and manages the total amount of air going into the engine.
Can I leave my generator on choke?
Leaving the choke on for too long will cause unnecessary engine wear and waste fuel. This is also bad for the environment. One a cold day, the engine can need more fuel than usual to get running – this makes the mixture ‘rich’, and this is what the choke does.
How does the choke work on a Camaro?
If I remember correctly (and it’s been many years), the linkage between the vacuum choke pull off and the choke butterfly has bends down and then back up and can be opened up or closed up slightly to fine tune how far opened the choke butterfly is once the engine starts.
How do you install choke control on a car?
2. Place the choke control cable under the intake manifold from the front of engine (front pull choke). Insert the cable bowden wire into the choke control (front or reverse pull). Then place choke cable under the cable clamp. 3. Position the choke control so it bottoms, then pull it back approximately 1/16″ (1.5 mm).
What should I do if my choke does not work?
If the engine does not start when cranked over for a few seconds, release the key and press the accelerator to the floor one more time to evoke an additional accelerator pump shot. Most automatic chokes have a “clear flood” mode or “unloader” that is carburetor-linkage operated.
What happens to choke spring tension as engine warms up?
As the engine warms up, the choke spring tension will be reduced; if the accelerator is moved slightly open, the fast-idle cam will drop a notch and move toward curb (warm) idle RPM. You do not want to aggressively throttle the engine to get the fast idle to drop.

What to do when the choke is not fully closed?
If the choke blade is not fully closed in this position, bend the choke intermediate rod that comes up through the body of the carb and attaches to the choke blade lever. Bend the rod so that the choke blade is fully closed. Remove the short piece of vacuum hose attaching the choke pulloff to the vacuum nipple on the carb.
How to set the flapper Adjustment on the fast idle cam?
It starts great in warm weather but the past two days the garage has been under 40 degrees at start-up. I press down all the way and release and crank. The choke is engaged BUT the choke blade flapper is shut tight – no air – no start. 🙁 How do I set the flapper adjustment on the fast idle cam to open more on the highest cam setting?
What causes a choke to stay on fast idle too long?
Stays on fast idle too long: The choke spring tension is too tight, the heat source is not being supplied or is blocked, or the fast-idle cam is gummed up, bent or has another problem that does not allow it to drop.
