A malfunctioning choke can
cause a variety of performance problems, from
no-start to missing and power loss at cruising
speeds. These problems can be caused by the choke
being stuck closed, the choke being stuck open,
inoperative choke pull-off, or a malfunctioning
bimetal choke coil.
A visual inspection may
identify the trouble spot quickly. Remove the air
cleaner, making sure to label each vacuum hose as it
is disconnected. If the engine is cold, the choke
should be closed. Watch the choke plate as an
assistant cranks the engine.
- Check for broken or leaking
vacuum hoses.
- Check for a cracked
housing.
