1 last question. I tried to adjust my choke plate, but now it has no spring action. When you push it, it doesn't spring back. It just flaps back & forth as if the spring is disconnected. Did I over adjust, or did I break something?

Also, most adjustments relating to the choke need to be done with the engine fully cold, so it may involve a few mornings to get everything right.
Once the engine has been started, the choke coil (the spring inside the black cap) heats up & prevents accurate adjustments from being possible.
It also stops the choke flap from closing when you press on the accelerator, until the engine & choke are cold again.
