New Kart - Tecumseh OHH60 - Where is the choke?

[hochimin]

I'm new to engines but bought a two seater "karts international" go kart with 6HP Tecumseh OHH60 Torque converter engine for $200. Upon receiving the Go Kart, which started and ran, I noticed an erratic idle and a want to continue to accelerate when I let off the gas. I cleaned the t.c. and carb (with piano wire and a rubber nipple attachment on my air hose) and those items were resolved immediately. I adjusted the idle speed and now it idles well and drives great. The only issue at the moment is it is MUCH slower than before cleaning. I notice the rpm's will increase under load, such as going up a hill - however - prior to the cleaning the rpms would go this high even on level driving and it was faster. I think I will tinker with the governor.

So in doing all of this I realize something... where the heck is the choke??? Has it been removed? I'm not even certain I fully understand what a choke is yet - but eventually I want to be able to fix any and every small engine problem I encounter!...

That said, I do have a primer bulb, but so does my snow blower which also has a choke.

Is it possible this specific engine has no choke???

OHH60's don't have a choke. only a primer. And it's possible that you put the linkage in the wrong hole on the carb if you had the whole thing off, that's probably the speed. and before someone else asks, you have pictures of the kart? We wanna see!

Here are some photos I took yesterday. I put the linkage where it was but that doesn’t mean it came correct. When the pedal is pressed, the brass plate on the carb goes all the way to open - is that all that needs to happen? Nothing else controls speed other than that throttle going to full open, right?
