CAUTION:
Extended use of the choke may impair piston
and cylinder wall lubrication and shorten the
life of the engine.
Pushing the choke knob too hard to the OFF
position may dislodge the choke cable boot. If
this happens, water and dirt may enter the
choke cable and cause corrosion. If the choke
is hard to actuate, or feels like it is sticking,
Check the cable boot
