hey everyone, I have an ltx 1040 with 10 hours on it. it works fine for the most part, but I have problems starting it, I always thought according to the manual I was supposed to put the throttle in the choke posission, but when I do this it will not start and seems to flood. if I try an hour later with the throttle in the slow posission it usually starts fine. Is it something I'm doing wrong? and on a side note why are most new lawn tractors placing the choke internal, now, I liked the old external chokes better anyway thanks for your help

A hot engine should not need choke, so if you can start it without it, all the better.:wink:

Re thanks, I'm talking about when engen is cold.: starting question

thanks for the reply, I do mean when the engen is cold.
