Nope. I only need the choke maybe 5-10 seconds even in cold weather.
Something is not right. The choke reduces air flow and increases aspiration of fuel from the carburetor float bowl through the main jet. Your mixture is too lean with the choke open. Could be a bad main jet. Call CPE Tech Support and report your problem.
Yesterday I started it, ran it for 5 seconds and pushed the choke in and all was ok. I will try again this evening. Suspect something was maybe clogging the jet or whatever.
purchased a new cutting head for a victor torch set (industrial) and could not regulate acetylene properly. Took a low pressure air blower and blew out all orifices and works perfectly. Sometimed new stuff may just have a piece of debris or paper ,whatever and a few minutes solves the problem. I will call Champion just to let them know and document it.
thanks professor!
