Yes, but I have no choke on mine....like many others it appears from reading posts here.
To top that off, the engine should really be warmed up to the point the
oil temp is getting well up past 140F before pushing things....about a 5 to 7 mile drive.
And finally, even with a 165F thermostat, it runs about 185F, which is still a bit cool, although overe the thermostat rating.
