Yeah mate it maybe the same picture but it definitely isn't a choke. A choke is historically a butterfly valve on a carburettor which when closed allows more fuel and less air in. This doesn't work on a diesel I'm afraid, which has the same picture. Its a hand throttle thats for sure.
yeah thats true... never thought about diesels. Perhaps they put that symbol on it to let you know that it should be used as a choke (even though its nothing to do with restricting airflow). The older troopy's have "throttle" writen on the hand throttle.Originally Posted by BigMav
Hello from Under Down Under!
I know what you mean by the symbol though mate.
I think the symbol can basically mean "liquid speed flow" and the symbol shows a mechanism that can allow more or less fuel to go through.
Hope this clears it up, sorry for the poor scan
