ive seen that issue before...a backyard handyman incorrectly assembled choke partsGentlemen, you tips proved most helpful. I discovered two problems. The coil I replace earlier had a slightly larger profile and cause the vain to drag across it. I corrected this by simply sanding down the corner. Also, someone actually assemble the machine incorrect by attaching the thermostat arm to the vain, this has been corrected. Machine now cranks easily and runs like a new one.
Your assistance was most appreciated, Ray
