Also I still can see some engine oil here. Is that a problem?

Is the lever bent?!
Anyhoo, it should 'feel' different when you go into 'choke' mode. It should be smooth in operation between the two animals ( that's the throttle - speed - position), but should feel as tho' something else is happening as you push it down to the 'choke' symbol. Does it?
And you haven't answered - how do you NORMALLY start the mower?
And, IS THE FUEL ON?!1 -
this is how level is put to Choke mode. I can't feel much difference while changing lever from slow to high to choke except a click sound when reaching 'choke mode'..?

I normally start it in keeping it by lowest position of level ( not sure it is rabbit or choke mode)
IS THE FUEL ON? Yes it got half tank fuel. what you meant by Fuel ON..?
