I choked

I don't care for the new Briggs and Stratton chokes and all that garbage on top of the tank and carb.




Soooooo, today I went MID EVIL ON IT'S ASS.

I copped it in two and then thought of a way to remember if the choke was on by sculpting an arrow out of it with the angle grinder. Then hooked up ONE simple linkage for a clean simple and unique look.



When the choke is "ON" the lever sits on the point of the arrow ..........



When the choke is "OFF" it sits on the quill of the arrow.......

Looks much better. I've never liked the looks of those newer setups. Now it looks more suited for a mini. You're not nearly as dumb as OldMan says you are.

Always assuming GTO is the do-er, rather than the pitcher-taker!
