Need shot of gas into choke to start

[Rivets]

Choking produces a rich fuel mixture. You should only need to use the choke only when cold starting. Once the engine is warm you no longer need to choke it.

the choke is just used to start the engine the first time ( when cold ) once you have had it running you shouldn't need to choke it again unless you let it cool all the way down but just to empty the grass catcher and restart you won't need the choke

This calls for a good carburator clean. Also check for dirt in petrol tank if you do not have a inline filter
