Choke is on the tunnel next to the starter pull.

sorry for the retarded questions.. but with no owners manual.. still new to these cars

PLEASE! tell me this is a wind up, every Pole has neighbour that has had a 126. Nearly any Pole over 30 will help

i wish it was a wind up!   

thanks for the starting instructions       but curious what does this "starter control" lever do exactly?  never had one of these on any of the many cars I have owned..

from the instructions it sounds like it engages the starter motor... but the key does that.

please clarify

This is honestly a wind up. Just ask any passer by. You are in Krakow. Ask anyone
