Carbureted Models Only
A constant velocity (C.V.) carburetor uses an enrichener instead of a choke. An enrichener is operated almost the same way as a choke except there are two differences:
When starting a cold engine, the throttle control MUST BE CLOSED for the enrichener to work properly.
The enrichener does not have detents. The enrichener knob position can be adjusted from full-in to full-out.
See
Figure 1. Engine speed increases as the enrichener knob is pulled out. By moving the enrichener knob, you adjust the air/fuel mixture to start a cold or warm engine.
1. | Pull enrichener knob all the way out for cold engine starting. | |
| NOTICE Pay close attention to the vehicle's warm-up time. Either excessive or insufficient use of the enrichener may cause poor performance, erratic idle, poor fuel economy, spark plug fouling and equipment damage. (00164a) |
2. | Change the enrichener knob position between full-out or full-in as the situation requires. | |
NOTE
See OPERATION section for detailed starting procedures.
Only carbureted models use an enrichener.
