How The Auto Choke Works On A Briggs And Stratton Lawnmower Engine

I was working on this old Toro lawnmower today and a youtube video opportunity presented itself:

How the Briggs auto choke works

Watch this video if you want to know how the auto choke on the Briggs and Stratton lawnmower engine works. Back in the day some machines had a choke lever, but nowadays it's a primer bubble or the autochoke system. Honda and Kohler have a similar apparatus, I'll do a video on those in the future.

Sometimes if your auto choke mower won't start when it's hot or cold, this could likely be the problem.. This could also be the cause of the dreaded lawnmower starts then dies scenerio.
