Hello:

I have a new Ariens snowblower; has a Tecum. engine and is the "Compact"
series.

Works fine, as long as the Choke Knob is in the middle (seems like there are
3 detents for it) position

I realize it should be all the way over to the left, max ccw, which is
apparently the no-choke or full open position.

But, if I do put it all the way to that position, it dies.

Very happy, though, in the middle position.

Any thoughts on ?
Safe to run that way ?

Thanks,
Bob
