Whenever I pull out the choke it immediately is pulled open by the spring on the side of the carb. Thus I have to go around holding the knob out by hand until engine warms up or it stalls. Why is this spring holding the choke open and not allowing it to close. Is there a part missing and how can I get it to stay closed ?

Harry was a patient man. He intended his tractor operators to sit (holding their choke out) until the engine was warm enought to stay running without it. Even then it is best to let it warm up for several more minutes before operating it. Part of the beauty of these vintage machines is the respect for their primitive nature...

I think that you are "right on..." but I think that it probably was one of Harry's ideas to make people to operate the tractor like he wanted... efficiency, less wear (and arrogance, more than patience... kinda' like Bill Gates and MS)... another example.. not being to start in gear.. Jim

Mine is the same way. Mine's an EZ starter so I don't generally have to choke it except to start it in really cold weather and then I release it and it runs fine until I want to move the tractor. If I don't let it warm up before I move it, I have to manually hold the choke in. I suppose if I wanted it to stay in, I could use a clothes pin and clamp it in a position to hold open the choke. It has never been a real problem for me, however.
