Briggs & Stratton 18 HP Choke

I have a B&S with relatively low hours, it recently started chocking it self LOL

The choke will go on while working, Is there an adjustment or a spring that activates it? The machine has a manual throttle lever, anyone ever have this issue?

Vtwin?

Yes V Twin

Thank you for the video link, I think my engines newer than that… It’s an early 2017

Can you snap a picture of how the choke operates on the Vanguard? Might be able to give you options after looking at it.

Mine did the same thing. There is a small screw where the choke is. Loosen the screw and take off the “squeeze bracket” that guide’s the choke. Clamp it down to increase the tension so it will stop turning off while you wash.
