I sympathize, but my experience with sardonic comments so far
tells me they just don't work on the Internet.

Oh boy here we go again...

That's about all that's available now, at least for walk-behind mowers. Not
having a choke/throttle is a positive thing IMO, because there's no control
wire to get snagged on trees or plants. They're pretty much unnecessary
anyhow, since you usually run the mower at whatever speed and leave it there
until it's time to shut down.

Some of the Briggs, you'd push the throttle all the way forward to set the
choke. Pull back a bit on the throttle to open the choke.

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

Sure! Even older pickup trucks had manual chokes. Pull the choke knob
from inside the cab and adjust as the engine warmed up.

Set the throttle to max and push the primer three to five times. It
should start right up. Choke's on small engines are going away now
and being replaced by the primers. Some have both just to make it
more confusing. If yours has a choke it will be *past* the full
throttle position.
