I had trouble one time and let it sit for five minutes and it started with
the throttle open about one inch(no choke). I have occasionally used the
choke when hot but find it not necessary most times.
but I do open the throttle one inch and it takes several seconds of
cranking to start. When cold it goes right away with the choke.
