behind the ****, you'll find a plastic ring that the shaft comes out of. You'll need to loosen the hex nut behind the bracket first (or it will crack,) then you can tighten the ring to firm up it's grip on the shaft... then snug the hex nut back up.

Just my 2 cents--I use the choke also to start in the morning but I have the same problem with it going in also so let it go and keep the rpm's up using the throtle. You dont want to keep it out too long any way or you will foul the plugs I found that out the hard way.
