Sounds like the unit has sat, and carb gum, Try draining the carb bowl and re-filling. There is a screw at the base of the bowl. Also make sure when cold choke is closed. And it opens fully after 3 minutes. Check battery voltage on choke coil.

Ridgid pressure washer motor runs choppy when choke is disengaged

The choke reduces the air flow into the carb. If you are having problems with the choke off, it means that not enough fuel is getting into the engine and it is running lean. When you choke it, the reduced air flow causes the mixture to be correct and it runs fine.

Starting procedure for stihl 012 av

Full choke, stop switch on run. Pull rope handle 3-4 times or more until it "tries to start" (it will not start, but it will try to for a split second) move the choke lever to the half-choke position and without pulling the throttle, poll the rope handle until the engine fires and runs for 4-5 seconds then fully open the choke to the run position, let it warm up for 25-30 seconds (don't forget to let it cool down about 45-60 seconds before you turn it off!) and then proceed to use it.

What are the steps to start my husqvarna 125b handheld gas blower

Put fresh gas/oil mix (if it is a 2 cycle) in the tank.

Put the choke on. Push the primer bulb 3-6 times. Pull the cord until the engine sputters. Put the chock to 1/2 way, pull cord again. Should start and run a bit with choke set there, then in about 10 seconds, put the choke completely off.

When starting my 1973gt380 with chock i have to rock to keep running until time to take chock off or till running smoothe.

Sounds as if the choke is not engaging correctly. It is most probably worn and does not close fully and by rocking it you manage to keep it shut. Just check it, without starting it and see how much play you have when it is on. Good Luck
