Quote: CVPost-redforlife (quoted from post at 14:55:04 01/29/22) Both of my winter runners need 1/2 choke to start when cold. As they warm up, reduce choke. Both seem to run better with choke partially on untill they reach normal operating temperature. Then all the way off.
I think alot of variables to choke use depends on whether the carb is set lean or rich. I'd be willing to bet that most engines that don't require choking when cold, have thier carbs set a touch rich. Those that require full choke, carbs are set to lean. Perhaps not, but it would for sure have to be atleast part of the factor if not.
I'd put money on that as well.
Also, location is important. As in, how cold is what you call cold in your location?
The OP, Bill VA, doesn't say where he lives. If I had to guess, I would say Virginia. VA is an abbreviation for Virginia I think?
How cold does it get in Virginia?
