Hi from Hervey Bay,
New to forum of any sort.
Not sure about protocol etc.
I’m the adventurer who owns a Cox Kingcat.
I have some starting issues and choke problems
Briggs and Stratton motor works fine once going
Trouble to get it swinging initially, then choke sticks , lift bum off seat, it stops.
Unstick choke, won’t start.
Any ideas?

Hi Ken
Welcome here.
Firstly you need to fix the choke, very important, they won't start cold without it and until warmed up you still need full choke to restart it again. Once running you can turn the choke off but until it is warm you need full choke and I mean full choke
