ok i can do that but i do have another question is the wind vain supposed to pull the choke open once the engine starts and the wind from the flywheel holds the choke open till the thermostat gets warm enough to hole the choke open cause if its supposed to work that way its not but yet the arm moves easily do you have a picture of how its supposed to go thanks

The thermostat pushes the air vane opening the choke. It may move freely when cold, but as soon as the engine starts heat from the exhaust expands the wax in the thermostat forcing the air vane movement and opening the choke.

Can he not take off the thermostat from the other engine just to try it...? if bad replace it.

 

[Rivets]

That's one way to diaganois the problem, I would give it a try, just make sure it is cold to start test.

yeah thats my next step I'm going to try is swap out the thermostats thanks guys
