Title: 2007 choke problem?
Post by: jr_gray on August 11, 2015, 11:56:22 AM
Picked up a 2007 gs500f that sat untouched for 5 years!
Rebuilt carbs, removed and cleaned gas tanks, removed and clean petcocks and removed and cleaned vent in gas cap. Problem now is I cannot use choke to start bike, it wont start at all with choke. It will start without choke and I can keep it running until it warms up. Does push out some smoke until it warms up. Any ideas??

You rebuilt the carbs.... but the choke circuit is pretty small and easily clogged. Sorry man, I'd say it's time to get back in there and clean them again.

I'm assuming you cleaned them.... but how?
