OK. I loosened the screw which holds the choke plate to the shaft. Re-centered the choke plate in the bore and re-tightened the screw.That fixes the problem of me being unable to actually close the choke with the choke rod disconnected. The plate was located too much toward the 7 o'clock direction in the bore and was jamming.Now...there is a combo of too much slop in the plastic-controller-switch-thing and/or too-short choke control rod. When I have my thumb on the lever...I get full choke. When I take my thumb off, it ever so slightly opens the choke just enough to allow the saw to run on choke.Or, that is my current theory.There seems to be plenty of opportunity for slop in that controller-switch-thing.
