You need to provide us with the engine model and type number information that is stamped into the rocker cover on the engine.

Techs don't like to play guesses off of minimal information.

Should be either a 40N877-0015-G1, 44N677-0015-G1 or 44R677-0024-G1. IPLs 2008-2016 claiming it has 40N677-0015-G1 but Briggs Power Portal says no such animal. And IPL for the 2012-2013 has the 44R677-0024-G1. I leaning toward the 44N677-0015-G1.

But as said we the info off the rocker cover.

my motor is:

Any suggestions?
Thanks!

IF this don't move [rotate].

But the inner extends and retracts then the cable clamp is probably missing or loose.

Removed the air cleaner and backing to see the actual choke plate. You may have to pull the entire upper fan shroud off. The linkage rod that operated the choke may have popped out of the clip at the bottom or top.

Take a couple of pictures from about a foot away when you get it apart.
