Have this toro personal pace with a B & S auto choke set-up. Getting it ready for the season. Had difficulty getting to start. pulled the air cleaner cover off and noticed the choke was not fully closed, adjusted the arm and it started but did not run strong. Was hesitating even after a few minutes of running. The carb had been cleaned last season in the USC and new gaskets. Wondering if the auto choke lever behind the muffler could be going bad. have not taken off muffler to examine yet. Anyone have issues with this type of choke system before? It ran good last year.
Thanks, Joe
