Anyone know what the difference is?

Bought a carburetor for a Craftsman Tiller, 591925. Came with two different choke plates, one with large holes and one with small holes. Does anyone know which one you should use? Is it for elevation??

So you brought one of those aftermarket carburetor kits.

IF look at the actual Briggs kit it gives you the idea which is correct. And if the kits I see on Amazon are any example then neither is correct. One is restrictive and the other is not restrictive enough. I suggest reusing the original choke butterfly from the original carburetor and hope the carburetor is right otherwise.
