One of the pictures shows the word "auf" which is German for on.

Remember, AUF means On. The German word AUS means Off. There are better German speakers here, but that's what google tells me.

My '57 air cleaner has "auf" and "zu" - zu = closed (choked). Feel up inside the opening and you can tell the difference.

Probably better to think in terms of "open" and "closed" for auf and zu, applicable terms for both the petcock and the choke. The restriction of the air flow occurs in the zu (closed) position. In English we would say the choke is "on", in German it is merely "closed"....

I agree with sticking your finger up there and making sure it's open. It's possible to put the choke/lever in wrong when assembling the air cleaner which makes it unusable. At least on a /3.
I never had to choke any of mine, but they all like to be tickled for 2.5 seconds on each jug.
