Choke/Enricher Knob will not stay pulled (solved)

[Pio412]

Is there any way to keep the choke knob out? All mine wants to do is spring back in. Any adjustments that can fix this?

This is a common fault, not much can be done about it. The most used work around is a plastic clothes pin.

Dang....I figured. I did try a bit of brake parts cleaner on the shaft of the knob to eliminate any oil that may be creating lubricity and it helped a bit but not well enough.

Two things to try:
1. tighten the plastic collar behind the knob.
2. when pulled out, rotate the shaft clockwise a bit.

Solved it. You can turn the rubber boot clockwise on the outside to tighten up the knob. Now it stays in any position! Sweeet
