If your lawnmower will start and run with the choke on but dies when the choke is turned off, it may have a problem with the carburetor. The carburetor brings air and fuel together and mixes them in the perfect ratio for combustion before they enter the engine.Click to see full answer. Moreover, is it bad to run an engine with the choke on?Basically it can’t draw enough fuel with bad Diaphragm. If the engine only runs with the choke full on it means you have a vacuum leak and the engine runs too lean with the choke off. Some times a back fire into the carburetor will blow a pressed-in BB out of a drilled passage way.Furthermore, do you have to choke engine to keep running? Once the fuel is contaminated, the bad gas can cause filters and carburetors to become clogged as unprotected rubber hoses and plastic parts actually begin to dissolve. If your motor requires the choke to be engaged (even slightly), it is likely time to thoroughly clean the fuel lines, filters and carburetor. Subsequently, one may also ask, why does my Honda lawn mower only run on choke? [email protected]honda Only runs smooth on choke usually means there’s blockage somewhere in the carb, often in the main jet or nozzle area. Depending on the specific mower, it can be cheaper/faster/less drama to simply replace the carb.What happens if you leave the choke on too long?Leaving the choke on for too long will cause unnecessary engine wear and waste fuel. This is also bad for the environment. One a cold day, the engine can need more fuel than usual to get running – this makes the mixture ‘rich’, and this is what the choke does.
