FLEETWIN IS RIGHT.I HAVE HAD TWO OF THESE MOTORS,AND THE CHOKE WAS A PROBLEM.HOLD THE CHOKE OUT BY HAND WHEN YOU START THE MOTOR AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS.ALSO THERE IS A SMALL SCREW ON THE CHOKE PLATE(I THINK)THAT IF LOOSENED WILL GIVE YOU A VERY SLIGHT ADJUSTMENT SO THAT THE PLATE WILL LAY FLATTER INTO THE CARB BODY.MAYBE YOUR PROBLEM
