Manual choke.

Or, more precisely, manual fuel enrichment for cold start.

Make sure the red lever is turned fulley clockwise so the lever is in line
with the length of the primer solenoid. If it is turned, it would be like
running with the choke on and the motor would run rough and smoke a lot.

Just went out to check on that red handle. It was turned fully counter
clockwise! I just turned it fully clockwise and will wait on the new
pump kit to come. It should be running like a champ when I put it back
together.

BTW, thanks to all that have replied
