choke alternatives for 66 toro

Postby usurpedus » Wed Oct 07, 2015 11:50 pm

I recently bought a 66 toro that runs fairly well but has issues at startup due to missing the choke. I've looked for replacements but have had a difficult time.. are there chokes for other cars more easily available that could work as a non stock replacement? would really appreciate any advice you guys could offer, thank you!

In addition see if the original timing chain set has been replaced. If there is a
lot of slop it will hurt operation and may come off soon. Bruce Roe
