Chainsaw Repair

UPDATE: I have left this PPT 261 stock still and was having troubles cold starting since I got it. No H or L on the EPA California carb 

Well today firing it up for the first time I was paying close attention. Primer worked right and slide choke on. Noticed choke wasnt getting full travel shown in opening on air filter cover. So after taking cover off pushed choke lever the rest of the way. Put air filter cover back on choke wouldnt move to off  . Ding ding ding the light went off. Unscrewed the hold down bolt through air filter cover and put a thick washer on it between cover and bolt head. Choke was never closing all the way before and now I have full travel of choke lever and fires right up.
