I just started using a Craftsman II "30ne Plus" lawn mower, which was made
roughly a dozen years ago.

There is no control lever/cable for choke or throttle. There is a lever on the
body, for throttle. Near to that is some device: it has a soft black rubber
covering which is hollow, and shaped approximately like a 1" inverted cup.
There is a small hole in it. I can depress/collapse it, but not pull it. Is
that rubber thing related to a choke? If so, can it be set, or is it somehow
automatic?

Or is choking accomplished merely by setting the throttle lever to the minimum
position? If so, what's that black rubber thing for? Thanks.

On mine, the soft black rubber covering is the choke, you have to push
it in and out four or five times before starting the mower.

I think that's called a primer.

I've never seen a lawnmower with a manual choke and
I don't think they have automatic chokes. I think the
primer is all they need.

My latest mower doesn't have a throttle either.
Just as well, always ran it full out anyway.

You've never seen a mower with a manual choke? What are you three years
old?

You're rude to strangers and you think I'm 3 years old?

I'm 62.

I know I had a car with a manual choke but can't remember the model.
Mowers, nope. Had lots of mowers too. Some even gas powered.
