Hi ,
I just bought a TroyBuilt 54" Mustang with the B&S 25 HP engine.
I find it odd that the choke is at wide open throttle setting. (Seams a lot of engines are that way these days I guess)
Why would engine designers want to start a engine at wide open throttle?
It is hard for me to do it, so I start the engine and as soon as it starts I lower the throttle to a high idle.
But now I am thinking maybe I should look into this a little more as surly the people that design and build engines
are a lot smarter than I.
It is just hard for me to think about an engine running fast when the oil has drained off its components.
So the question is Should I worry about the engine at start up?
What do other owners do when starting?
Thanks.
