Hot Start Issue Choke stuck?

Will do, sorry about that I'm a park ranger and go out of communication fairly regular. Even this year in contract job I wasnt on FABO for two weeks as service was limited.

I blew out everything and scrubbed with q tips. Gonna find sinc thin wire tomorrow.

Really appreciate all the help folks. Got a new gas tank on the way and replaced all the rubber fuel hose. Should I try to clean the metal line? I have a clear fuel filter after the fuel pump.
No problem. I was seasonal and term (NPS) non-LE.

Filter should catch everything but the smallest. Just keep an eye on it. I ended up having to replace the metal line (AZ car) but the tank was fine, so you never know.
Do the best you can on cleaning out the carb. The cats meow is an ultrasonic cleaner, but what you're doing is what most of us do.
You could try some strands from automotive wire if you think its that gunked up. Spray carb cleaner and air through it will get it pretty good. If that cluster comes out, definately clean in there too.
