Front carb jet fully up.
Front carb jet down for "choke".
Choke knob when jet levers are fully pulled back. Can only be done "easily" when return springs are disconnected.

The ship in the picture, actually the Canadian Star 2, was launched in 1957, and used in merchant service for Blue Star Lines until transferred in 1979 to Lamport and Holt Line for use as a cargo vessel. She was commissioned for demolition in 1979.
The original Blue Star M.V. Canadian Star was torpedoed March 18, 1943 and sunk by the German Submarine U-221, when southeast of Cape Farewell, Greenland in position 53.24N, 28.34W. She was on a voyage from Sydney, N.S.W. and New York to Liverpool with 7,806 tons of refrigerated cargo. Twenty crew and nine passengers were lost.
