Default Enricher question

My enricher **** won't stay all the way on a cold start. At first I thought maybe it was because of an extremely hot day, which is when I first noticed it. But now I'm having to physically hold it out all the time on cold starts, otherwise it retracts prematurely on it's own , and the bike stalls. Just wondering if this is an indication of something internally wrong with the motor? Thanks in advance for replies.

Sorry guys, post is worded bad. What I'm trying to say is the enricher **** won't stay out all the way, and retards prematurely.....before motor is warm. If I don't physically hold it out, bike will stall out because it's not warmed up yet.

There should be a knurled nut to tighten the tension to hold the **** out. It is by the ****.

Found it, fixed it! Almost sprayed some w-d 40 on it for good measure. Glad I read this first.
