Just a suggestion fr the future, there is a spring that you can install on the choke lever that will make sure the choke is open everytime after use. They are about $3 at your local shop.
This is good advice. We never used trecsprings because our choke lever seemed stiff enough to stay in the down position. Well itvwss until it wasn't. One day it rattled up while on the track. Now we use the spring even if it seems fine. Cheap insurance.
