What is claimed is: 1. An air/fuel mixing apparatus configured for use with an internal combustion engine, the air/fuel mixing apparatus comprising: a carburetor including a body defining a passageway therein; a throttle lever including a cam surface; a throttle valve positioned in the passageway and responsive to movement of the throttle lever; a choke lever including a follower surface configured to be engaged by the cam surface; a choke valve positioned in the passageway and responsive to movement of the choke lever and the throttle lever; and a solenoid configured to disengage the choke lever from the throttle lever, and move the choke valve to a substantially-opened position. 2. The air/fuel mixing apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a lever operably coupled to the solenoid, wherein the solenoid lever is configured to disengage the choke lever from the throttle lever, and move the choke valve to its substantially-opened position, upon actuation of the solenoid. 3. The air/fuel mixing apparatus of claim 2, wherein the solenoid lever is rotatable by the solenoid about a first axis, wherein the choke lever is rotatable relative to the body about a second axis, and wherein the first axis is offset from the second axis. 4. The air/fuel mixing apparatus of claim 2, wherein the choke lever includes a second follower surface, and wherein the solenoid lever includes a cam surface configured to engage the second follower surface. 5. The air/fuel mixing apparatus of claim 4, wherein the second follower surface is disposed adjacent the first follower surface. 6. The air/fuel mixing apparatus of claim 2, wherein the solenoid includes an output shaft rotatable about an axis, and wherein the solenoid lever is formed as a single piece with the output shaft. 7. The air/fuel mixing apparatus of claim 1, wherein the solenoid includes an output shaft rotatable about a first axis, wherein the choke lever is rotatable relative to the body about a second axis, and wherein the first axis is coaxial with the second axis. 8. The air/fuel mixing apparatus of claim 7, wherein the output shaft is coupled to the choke lever and fixed for co-rotation with the choke lever. 9. The air/fuel mixing apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a thermal switch operably coupled to the solenoid, wherein the switch is configured to be selectively closed to provide power to the solenoid. 10. The air/fuel mixing apparatus of claim 1, wherein the throttle valve is configured to rotate about a first axis from a wide-open first position to a second position, wherein the cam surface includes an arcuate segment having a constant radius centered on a second axis, and wherein the arcuate segment is sufficiently long such that the throttle valve is configured to move at least 15 degrees while the follower surface engages the arcuate segment of the cam surface. 11. The air/fuel mixing apparatus of claim 1, wherein the throttle valve is configured to rotate about a first axis from a wide-open first position to a second position, wherein the choke valve is configured to rotate about a second axis from a substantially closed first position, corresponding to the wide-open first position of the throttle valve, to a partially-opened position, corresponding to the second position of the throttle valve. 12. The air/fuel mixing apparatus of claim 11, wherein the solenoid is configured to move the choke valve from its partially-opened position, in which the choke lever is engaged with the throttle lever, to its substantially-opened position, in which the choke lever is disengaged from the throttle lever. 13. The air/fuel mixing apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a bracket supporting the solenoid relative to the carburetor. 14. The air/fuel mixing apparatus of claim 13, wherein the bracket is coupled to the carburetor. 15. The air/fuel mixing apparatus of claim 1, wherein the solenoid is configured as a rotary solenoid.
