2000 yamaha 25hp four stroke choke or no choke

[sambrigman]

This is a tiller handle I cannot find a choke.Is it possible that there is no choke. Motor is hard to start with no choke.Can someone tell me where it may be?? any help greatly appreciated.

Without knowing the exact model of the motor it is hard to say exactly but I suspect that the motor has an automatic fuel enrichment device known as Primestart.

On a 17 year old motor I suspect that the carburetor, and the Primestart passageways are in need of a thorough cleaning.

If it does not have a choke then it will have a prime start enrichment system on it.
need to make sure that is working properly , it is set properly, and you are following the starting procedure in owners manual

Time to clean the fuel system.
I would get a factory service manual, to walk you through it,it's on you tube

You and Youtube! Do you have a link to the video?

Sam - Do you have an owner's manual? Starting is covered in the manual. Yamaha has them for less than 20 bucks if you need one, assuming you have a short shaft. - https://www.yamahapubs.com/results.p...25MSHY&lang=en

Or you can search Youtube forever as some of us like to suggest. :facepalm:
