Just realized from that picture how bent my left footpeg is

So the bike started right up and I started to ride.. When i hit 5th at about 45-50 the engine died... I then realized the choke was all the way forward (must not have pushed it back like i thought i did)... Would this cause the engine/power system to die?
First time i have ever forgetting to push the choke forward
But since i just rewired the electrical system I want to make sure i didnt screw it up somewhere that caused this...

The choke would possibly cause the engine to die,but it wouldn't cause and electrical issues.

I dont think the electrical system died... Since it still tried to turn over when I hit the starter.. Just wouldn't turn over...

I am guessing that was because gas was sitting on the spark plugs because of the choke?

All choke does is introduce more air to the carb afaik.

I thought it flooded it with more gas.. hense why you can foul your plugs when they get wet..

No gas flows through the carbs unless there is a vacuum from the engine.Our carbs are CV type and do not use an accelerator pump to squirt/inject fuel into the intake.

Unless ours operates totally different, I could have sworn the choke decreases the air in the carb, decreasing the pressure which decreases the vaporization point of gasoline causing more gasoline to be pulled into the engine...

A gs choke is a fuel passage that opens sucking fuel from the front bottom side ways hole in the float assy, through the front part with the retaining ring through the side - the outside brass tube into the top side of the mouth. A bit of vacuum in the manifold gets a bit of fuel that way instead of only through the air screw ... you open the throttle it pretty much vanished past maybe 1/4 throttle. You get it revving under load you're pretty much like running an extra 1-2 turns on mix screw ... its pretty insignificant past pure idle and maybne 1/4 throttle.
Cool.

So you are saying it wouldn't cause the engine to stall?
