re: I'm only 50 and i've never seen a mower that didn't have a manual
choke.

Let's make sure we're making a rye grass to rye grass comparison here.

I'd hazard a guess and say that the vast majority of today's *walk-
behind* mowers do not have manual chokes.

On the other hand, anything that you ride - either stand or sit -
probably does.

Just guessing, don't be rude - errr - I mean funny - with me.

I can only speak for the EXMARK walk behinds that the company i work for
has. They have 17HP Kawasaki engines and they have a manual choke.

And the toro self propelled push mower i personally own has a manual choke.

The devil's in the details. I think for the most part this thread is
about home-owner walk behinds. I don't know of any homeowners that own
17HP walk behinds...but technically you are right.

Interesting - what's it vintage?

When you live as long as I have, there will be a lot of things
you've never seen.

You need those smiley things or it doesn't come across
well on the Internet.

I hate those smiley things. I don't smile in real life when I make a dry
humor remark. That kind of spoils the dryness, doesn't it? Let the
stupid people think what they will.
