do I leave the choke on after starting it?

No. Adjust it slowly to off after the engine starts. The choke allows to engine to start better, for actual running of the geni or any gas powered engine that has a manual choke it needs to be off for the engine to continue to run and perform correctly.

You never leave the choke on (any engine) after starting. The choke should always be fully open (off) when the engine is operating.

Press priming pump 5-6 times. Choke on, pull starter HARD 4-5 times or until engine "pops". Choke off, pull HARD, should start.

I converted mine to a manual choke with an inexpensive kit from Auto Zone. That worked better for me.

In addition to the other suggestions, stand the unit upright in a climate controlled environment (72F+) for about an hour. This will address cold weather and over priming/choke related issues.

First, you can't "advance" a choke, only open or close it. Reread my reply, I gave you times and signs to look for.

Well with gas in tank, oil in the pan and some luck it should start. Use the starter bulb and try a few different settings on the choke.

Make sure the choke is not jammed. Try and move it by hand at the motor. I use premium gas also. Good Luck.

Leave the little white straw alone. That is part of the auto on/off mechanism.

Remember to breathe through your mouth as you use the pot. This seems to naturally "block" the throat passageway. It really works for me!

I'm not sure if it's the official way to do it but if you've already pressured it pull off the gas line and stick a flat head screwdriver into the inner circle on your post (like letting air out of a bike tire). Should hear a nice hiss...let off as much as you want/need and you should be good to go.

It starts usually one pull with choke on and next without it starts. I believe it weighs less than a gaLlon of milk. It gfs easy grip handle on top making it very well balanced.

No....there is no choke at all, but I live in Michigan and had no problem starting and running the car at all...for the great price it really has improved the performance of my vw.

Don't know, mine had manual choke, but it might depends on how the choke connects.

After blowing it out, I also find it helpful to let it sit it out for a day or two (with no mouthpiece attached) un-cased in a nice dry spot. Seems giving mine a break like this aids in the play for next time. It's tempting to just immediately place it back in the case but it won't ultimately dry out as thoroughly.

Make sure you follow the instructions regarding the throttle. If it is in the wrong position it will shut off.

I have had no problem starting the chain saw. I have started it at least 100 times. I have had a sometime problem while the saw is warming up that at full throttle it stops running. However after a while it will run at full throttle. Just to make sure it is a carburetor issue you may want to read the starting instructions again. Make sure you pump the primer bulb about 5 or 6 times times. Pull the choke all the way out as far as it will go. That will activated the start button. Next pull the cord 5 times. After that push the choke half way in. Pull the cord until it starts. Once it starts let it warm up by pulling the throttle all the way for a few seconds backing it full and partial throttle for about 30 seconds. Hope this helps and your issue is pumping it with gas, full throttle, half throttle and warm up. I am sorry but I have no knowledge about the carburetor.

there is a little red button near the handle you push it back to take the safety off. It will take some doing the first time cause it's tight. Be careful. You don't want this to go off.
