Although I've had this LT1000 for 15 years, I still am unclear about the choke/throttle lever. For starting, the instruction/owner's manual states "Move throttle control to choke position.". Well, this lever has the drawing of a turtle at the bottom position, and a rabbit at the top (and in the middle it states something like "here for mowing". I used my little brain and figure turtle is slow and rabbit is fast. But WTF is the $$^^#$&*&%$$#%^& CHOKE POSITION ?????
I'm basically asking for help to make starting the engine easier, it cranks strong and fine. Most times I have to sparay in starting fluid to get it to start; on its previous engine I had to add a spring from the hardware store to help its choke close, but haven't done anything like this with the current engine (which is about 5 years old).
