I just noticed yesterday that when I raise the warm-up lever when trying to start this motor, it doesn't seem to move the throttle/spark advance lever much on the motor, and I don't see the throttle plates inside the carb opening much. The warm-up lever is obviously working some because there is a definite difference in rpm's between lever fully raised and fully down, but I am wondering if it is set and adjusted correctly.
This motor has always been hard starting when cold and I'm just wondering the correct adjustment of the lever. I have a factory service manual and couldn't find anything about how to adjust it or the correct setting, unless I overlooked it in the manual.
Can anybody tell me anything about setting/adjusting the lever?
P.S....As far as the hard cold starting.....YES the choke plates are FULLY closing when using the choke switch on the remote control box...and the old choke service bulletin work has been done. I plan on doing carb work over the winter but I'm just wondering about the warm-up lever right now.
