Choke lever
If the choke lever
1
is pulled backwards, a bore will be opened in the
carburetor through which the engine may draw in additional fuel. This
produces a „rich“ fuel/air mixture necessary for cold start. If the choke lever
is pushed forward up to the stop, the bore will be closed again. In this
position the choke cable must have a play of approx. 4 mm.
