Im not quite sure what you are looking for ...But there is a switch located above your gas peddal...and there is also a wire that feeds to your carb...check those. I put a manual choke on my 80 luv...but i never use it...why would you have to have a choke to keep a engine running...i thought chokes were to get an engine started....not to keep it running... there are carb adjustments to regulate rich and lean!!

Chokes are for getting a cold engine to fire, not to keep one running at operating temp. If you have to use a choke to keep it running, there is a big problem with your carby.

there's this piece of shit truck at work that when you want to use the pto to pump gas you need to pull the choke all the way out. you could get lost in all the black smoke :lol: . i keep telling are mech. about it and they just laugh. oh well, hopefully the damn thing blows up soon. with me not around of course. :lol:

Bout 2 hunerd each. Not bad considering I payed a 1250 for the tires on my Blazer. 18x44 monster mudders. Bought 5. The boggers were out of sight at 370 each. That would have been 1850. Wowsers.

LoL. I have a lazy-boy, but it is getting old and busted. I have decided to build a frame to support it, and make a pedal powered three wheeled recliner. I will keep you all informed.
