If I read that correctly you may be getting confused I would say lever down choke on and closed lever horizontal choke off and open try priming carb 4 to 5 presses should do it choke on lever in down position a few pulls and you should hear it trying to fire STOP PULLING choke off lever back to horizontal a few more pulls and if the carb is set to stock it will run if it runs but dies off straight away lift the idle screw by no more than 1/8th
