Have to close it slowly as the engine heats up. But, I don;t think that exp=
lains why you should have to keep it above 2000 rpm when you first start it=
.=C2=A0 =C2=A0If you have the owner's manual for the carb, I would suggest =
going through the adjustments to see if anything is off. You never mentione=
d how it runs once warmed up.=C2=A0 It it runs okay when warm, then you'd h=
ave to assume something is going on with the choke. And since it's a manual=
 choke it seemingly would be something simple that isn't right.
