It is an electric auto choke(Nikki carby)
Yeah, it's possible. I haven't checked it recently, so I should.
But, I reckon it's not the case. If the auto choke flaps stay shut, then starting shouldn't be too hard.
It runs like a biatch both cold and hot engine.
Having said that, auto choke might need adjustment for a friggin cold & moist winter lately.
Thanx for the tip and reminder. Two brains are always better than one.![]()
