Doh!

Not really, just want to agree with Hotel. Stuff I haven't encountered yet, but, someday will.

Re:Choke wont stay put 2 Months, 3 Weeks ago  
I always had to turn mine to get it to hold out. Not any more after reading this thread. I tried tightening it first w/o any success. So I loosened it then retightened it. Now I can feel three detents.

What a great site.

I'm glad you asked this question. I've had the same problem and the suggestion to turn the tensioner behind the "choke" also solved my issue.

I asked this question a couple years ago...I thought it was some new Japanese technology. Choke goes in as engine warms up, automatically.

Strange, I had the same thought - that it was intentional!
