ISbird Posted July 8, 2020 The plate assembly (handle for the choke) is stuck inside the carb and won’t initiate. Therefore i have to turn the gas to prime and basically start it the way i would if i were to have flooded it. I’ve already pulled hard enough to pull the handle off the assembly. I don’t really know what else to do unless WD-40 would do the trick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dad2u Posted July 8, 2020 WD40 can't hurt as this is a shaft that moves in a hollow opening. If you can't free up the choke, you will have to pull the carb and disassemble it to find out why it is binding. Keep your fingers crossed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GuyGraham Posted July 9, 2020 WD40 (or similar like GT85) should sort it - mine gets very sticky and a quick squirt with some lube where the 3 shafts attached to the plate, enter the carb body soon sorts it out 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
