How Do You Start a Choke Engine?
A typical starting procedure for an engine with a choke might be:
  1. Close the choke (usually on carburetor).
  2. Set the throttle control (if any) to the START or HIGH position.
  3. Pull the starter cord once or twice (if it doesn't start on the first one).
  4. If it still doesn't start, open the choke half way.

Keeping this in consideration, 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.

Likewise, where is the choke? Similar to the throttle, the choke plate rotates from a horizontal to vertical position to open up the passageway and allow more air to get by. The choke is located before the throttle, and manages the total amount of air going into the engine. The choke is only used when starting a cold engine.

Beside this, how does a choke work on an outboard motor?

Outboard motors feature a choke when they work by internal combustion. When the choke is activated, the amount of air entering the carburetor is reduced, increasing the amount of fuel that enters. This change in ratio between fuel and air helps the engine first start up.

What makes a car choke?

Fact is that fuel in the engine is cold when the engine is first started and in order to heat it up, a fuel and air mixture is required, and that's what a choke is designed to do. The choke is usually located towards the upper end of the carburetor, and provides this mixture by stopping the carburetors air supply.

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.

Why does engine only run with choke on?

An engine that will fire and run with the choke closed but dies when the choke is opened likely has debris at least partially blocking the fuel passages in the carburetor. In this condition the closed choke provides enough extra fuel to enter the engine to overcome the lack of fuel flowing through the other passages.
