Title: choke question
Post by: gp on March 23, 2005, 07:08:34 PM
Hi,

does this make semse???...

I have just had a choke cable fitted (it was cut when i first got the bike),
and when I use the choke the bike won't start, but when i don't use choke it starts normal.

weird? what might be wrong?  :dunno:


thanks,
gp

Might have high floats causing excess fuel to run out into the venturi of each carb. How does the Baby run at speed when warm? Love the little bike and this forum.

Also make sure you're pulling it toward you for the choke to come on. It confused me when I first got my bike.

I only just got the bike back a couple of days,
but it runs great when warm,

and yes I pull it towards me when turning the choke on.


thanks,
