    Question:
    I have a brand new 560bts Blower with Husqvarna 2 stroke premix fuel. It will only run with the choke open. Everytime I close the choke the blower immediately dies. The manual says to put the choke "on" but does not state whether "on" means Open or closed? I wish the manual would use the same terminology as printed on the blower.
    I cannot get the blower to work at all with the choke closed no matter if the engine is warm or cold. i'm afraid that there is something wrong? It only runs with the choke open.

      Of course if you close the choke it will die. That is what choke means just as if someone choking you. You will not be able to breathe nor can the engine.

      Closing is only meant to help start the engine when needed, This by closing the choke you enrich the fuel while cutting the fresh air intake to a minimum.

      I would also assume on means closing the choke.

      Thanks for the help. Makes sense although I am not sure why it won't cold start with the choke closed.  At least it starts just fine with it open.
