KE4AVB, you hit it right on the head. The vane immediately fly's forward, opening the choke on the cold engine.
It's supposed to. Choke should only be for starting engine.
If the vane was somehow captured by the choke, the vane could then only move forward as the choke coil warms up, instead of
flying forward as the choke remains. If the choke could hold the vane back until it warmed up and moved forward, it would work fine.
I need to hit the diagrams and see if the vane should attach to the choke. Maybe there is a part missing. I see the index marks on the plastic vane.
So on a cold engine it seems adjusted.
I'll keep you posted.
Need to service carburetor or find air leak,if it won't stay running after start-up. Choke adjustment is there to prevent over-fueling on hot restarts. (holds choke slightly open to full open depending on temperature)
