If this is an electric start does it have the electronic choke in key ignition?

Re: manual choke question

Try pushing your key in and hold in as you start it. A lot of chokes were designed that way. It if does go in have some check motor to see if it activates choke? If it starts then you will have your answer. Just a thought.
