" Something is gummed up. The solenoid appears to be working as it clicks when I hit the switch and you can see the "plunger" try to respond. Manually moving the rod connected to the manual choke on the motor housing doesn't feel loose and doesn't spring back when released. Do I need to add lubrication to the inner part of the solenoid? Lube the actual flappers themselves? If so what do I use? Sorry for a somewhat ignorant post. I can usually kind of "figure stuff out" but I am new to outboards and don't want to go to a dealer or mechanic for a problem that appears to be simple. Everything works fine and appears to be working right, except the choke won't spring back after I release it. "
