<div>I interpreted Mark's comment to mean he never needs to use the quarter turn function because his also has the two notches in it as shown in the photo. Relying on corrosion & gunk does not appeal to me.</div>

Is that correct or are you describing the same type of inherent friction Perry is describing? <u></u><u></u></span></div>

<div class="yiv1046602448MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;color:black;">Should have been more clear on my response. Our BN2 choke cable knob does not lock in the quarter turn position. Still works per the owners manual which says: Pull the choke knob to full pull, crank engine until it starts, then return the knob to half pull for rapid warming up. The choke must be fully released at the earliest moment possible.” This is a solid wire inside a non lubricated cable sheath....lots of friction. <u></u><u></u></span></div>

<div>
<div class="yiv1046602448MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;color:black;">No mention of the turning the knob to lock it. <u></u><u></u></span></div>

<div class="yiv1046602448MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;color:black;">My recollection was that when braided choke cables started to be used that two things were added, a strong coke return spring at the carb linkage and a quarter turn lock to hold the selected position. <u></u><u></u></span></div>
