Auger update, ….think i found the issue

[Slingshot]

Hi guys!

So….Had it in the house all day and then it starts 2nd pull. While screwing around with it outside I noticed idle was a bit low….adjusted that. Here is the kicker…..choke not working….when running, slide it up, down…full choke etc and nothing. I seem to think here is my problem when its cold. Warm, starts no prob, cold, no start cause the choke isn't working. I will tear it down after the season and try to fix it. I may keep in the truck on the way to fishing for the next week, keep it warm, start before the sled ride or just start it and carry it on my sled running…..lol.

Does the choke thing make sense? I mean warm, starts, cold no start even though " I thought" the choke was open but not!

Fun in games!!

Enjoy the last little bit everyone!

Thanks again as always for help and suggestions!

Cheers

If your having trouble starting it.

Hold throttle on full and pull the snot out of it, if gas and oil is all good she will go.

There is a good guy in Hillsburgh who fixes them.
