It sounds like it is running lean you should check your fuel flow: filter, clean carb .
Some times if you put some carb cleaner threw the gas tank. (just a cap full) Maybe you will have to reset the carb.
I had the same problem. I put the pilot valve back to specs and it starts and runs good without playing with the choke to keep it running. Its been a month now and still running good.
the purpose of the choke relay is to supply power to the choke heater ONLY when the engine is running; otherwise if you left the key in the run position but the engine wasn't running the choke would open up even though the engine wasn't warmed up. then when you tried to start it, it wouldn't start because no choke. the control circuit for the relay usually comes off of the back of the alternator triad winding (alternator not turning=engine not running). without looking at a wiring diagram i can't tell you the details of the wiring but that's the idea of it- engine running turns relay on and sends power to choke heater and slowly opens up choke; key on but engine not running means relay is off and no power to choke heater. if the relay is not working, then no power will go to choke heater and the choke will stay on too long (or if ambient temps. are low it may stay on all the time). fast idle will stay on also as it is hooked up to choke linkage.
Yes. If the choke plate is sitting in there loose if can close by itself which would flood the engine. Also, without the choke you would have a very lean condition during cold start-up until the engine warms up.
If you leave the "choke" on you will foul the plugs. The choke is actually an enrichener, which dumps fuel. There is no damage done just bead blast or replace your spark plugs if the bike stops running right
You will need a gunsmith to find out
to help it start running and idle
does it start without the choke? if it does you are probably flooding the engine with the choke readjust it
No it will not. If you need increase the supply voltage and remove the choke.
No, only use the choke until the bike can idle without it
It sounds like a vacuum leak allowing air to enter the engine after the choke. The carb could also be dirty and not allowing enough fuel through it for the amount of air you are supping.
no
Poly ChokeYes, set choke to cylinder.Yes, you can use slugs in a poly choke gun i have a mossberg new haven model and i use slugs in it all the time just make shure that you open the choke up to mod. or im cyl or just the most open setting on the poly choke it shouldn't matter the your gun is a jc and mines a mossberg when i shoot slugs in it i use the inmrpved clyinder setting its the most open setting that my gun has just make shure you don't lossen the choke too much or you might shoot of the choke all together (my grandpa did that with his 12 ga. anywayPoly Chokes have a "slug" setting or use Cylinder or Improved Cylinder. They are safe with rifled slugs. Ask Poly Choke Inc. before trying sabots which are meant for rifled barrel anyway and aren't accurate out of a smoothbore. http://www.poly-choke.us/choke.htmSee Related LinksSee the Related Links for "Poly Choke Inc. description" to the bottom for the answer.
