Tom, just turning the key on will not have any effect on the choke of a Spree or Elite as it is powered from the generator not the battery. The choke on the Honda is very stable and normally would not require service. The biggest problem is that the gas jet that feeds the choke is very small and easily plugged with the smallest spec of dirt and cleaning can be difficult if a spec get lodged in that tiny hole. The jet is so small and placed in such a position that you cannot see light through the hole to confirm it is open. I use carb cleaner from the inside of the bowl and see if it goes through and fills up the small well on the other side. For a stubborn one, I have a wire brush that has wire fine enough to go through the hole. Be careful cleaning this jet not to force something into it that would enlarge the hole as that would result in too much extra fuel for the cold engine and it would not run right until it is completely warm and the choke closed. For Tom, try a different carb bowl and see if it solves that cold running problem. For Matt, try a little carb cleaner in your gas tank before cleaning the carb. Joe |
