Hey all,

Yes, the choke lever should NOT snap back into place. When you pull it towards you to engage the choke, it should stay in place until you manually push it back.

What? You don't have to do it at the same time. Pull the lever forward and it should stay there on its own. If it snaps back into place when you let it go then thats a different problem.
