Lost the lever that chokes the machine. It was red and one had to put it on start inorder to rev the motor then it jumped back to run. Can I buy this part?

First , prime the priming bulb about 4 x...

Next put the choke lever in full choke position

Give a couple slow pulls, then a good strong pull...

(The unit should burp, run for a second)

Next put the choke lever in the half choke position

Pull rope

It should start and run, now put the choke lever all the way in the off position and let unit warm up a minute... if when you turn choke off it stalls out, u didn't warm it up enough...

Check transmission fluid. Torque converter needs ALOT of fluid to work .

• Check all connections , fuel, battery, etc
• Squeeze primer bulb until firm
• Lift choke switch , listen for operation (click)
• Raise idle speed lever, not too much, be prepared to lower quickly if engine starts to over rev . (remember, this is a 1972, it does not have much for safeties.)
• lift and HOLD choke switch
• Turn key to crank
• release choke when fires
• if running, you may have to flip choke switch again until it warms up.
• watch idle speed as 2 cycles can "run away"
• Hope this helps
• All of this assumes the motor is in the down position and IN THE WATER or hooked up to a flush device.
• NEVER start the motor without water going to the gear case(water pump)

outboard motor yes ? only run in a tub or water attachment turned on before starting ! after 2 or 3 min the choke should be able to go off ! if not then remove the carb and clean jets etc with carb cleaner ! been stood a while ? fuel older than 5mths is off so replace also ! ??

tune up,fuel filter.

It sounds like you might have a bad alternator. You can't always trust you gauges. Jump it off again and check the voltage at the battery. You should have 14 volts. If it is less then that you have a bad alternator. Good luck.

IT sounds like the choke is stuck in the on position. You need to inspect the cable and make sure it is free to operate or moves freely. Check down by the carberators and follow the cable back up to where it originates from and see if the thing moves freely at the top and bottom. If not the easiest thing to do is buy a new one and install it or Lube the cable you have and see if you can free it up by using some break free or other lubricant like WD-40 and spray the heck out of the thing.

GOOD luck and let me know how things turn out... Sincerely HDTV GURU JAY

the motor wont rev high on choke.the motor is suppose to fire once on choke. then turn the choke off.pull the start cord and the motor should start and run.check that the throttle conrol is on full. it should run fine.

I am going to presume this is a gas blower.

1. Make sure you have the properly mixed oil and gas in the fuel tank.

2. Put throttle lever setting to choke or start.

3. Press primer bulb 4-5 times, until it gets stiff and feels full.

4. Pull cord until the unit starts or at least sputters.

5. Put the choke lever to the 1/2 way point and pull rope again. Should start. When it has run 30 seconds or so, put choke to the off position.

if he put fuel in it dump it out & put yours in it , if problem persist there are 2 screws on the carberator turn the 1 on the right or th bottom 1/4 turn to the left!
