Why no choke on new 2 strokes?

[496 Cubic Inches]

My 2004 oil injected Yamaha 50hp doesn't have a choke knob like the older motors do,why is that? <br /><br />Is there a choke thats activated in some other way? My manual makes no mention of a choke, thats why I'm wondering.

Re: Why no choke on new 2 strokes?

cause its a prime start model. the "choke" is automatic. there is an overide on the middle carb. I suggest reading the section in the owners manual about its operation. most two strokes did away with "chokes" years ago over an enrichment system.
