My neighbor has a log splitter from Tractor Supply. It has a B&S 675 Series engine. The problem is that engine will not start without holding choke shut manually and then working throttle by hand. I am sure there is a spring or rod missing on carb. but not sure what or where it goes since I didn't see it before. He loaned it to someone and it came back broke. The model of the engine is 126M02-0432-F1. Here are a couple of pics of carb. hopefully someone can help.

The reaso I asked for that is I don't see a choked style carb...... Do you have a red primer bulb in the front of the air box ???
Not sure what you are calling the choke since that carb doesn't use a choke because it is a primer engine. I suspect the problem is a dirty carb, or bad gas that is causing the issues. I don't see anything missing from the carb area, and everything looks like it is in the correct location. Wouldn't hurt to clean some of the junk out around the little metal kill tab next the small plastic square, could be shorting to ground and causing ignition issues.
