I'm a new MB owner and never use my choke. In fact if I do, it will kill the engine....Is that a sign that something is not set up properly? I have no issues getting it started or going.
Thanks.
Edit...I just realized that I'm not sure which way is open/closed. When I pull the switch up it dies.

If the choke will kill the engine you have no problem. It's when it won't stop the engine that you have an issue, probably a vacuum leak.

The lever down is 'choke off' or open. That's where you want to keep it. If you ever notice that the lever has moved, vibrated upward, that can be fixed by slightly tightening the little brass nut that the choke plate swivels on.
