My gator is having an intermittent problem where it will only run so long as the choke is almost full open. I just had it serviced and thought that they had corrected the problem since it ran fine for a couple of days but the problem is back. Any suggestions?

On any engine, when you need to keep a choke on, my experience has been a dirty/ clogged carburator jet passage. I have disassembled carburators more than once to blow air through the passages. Usually I take a very fine wire (sometimes a wire brush pulled out with a needle nose) and push through the ports and jets. Remember to replace/ install and in-line gas filter, or you'll probably repeat this several times. It may be necesary to flush the gas tank too. Good luck. ....
