Sounds like dirt/crud in the carb. You need to remove, disassemble, clean and reassemble the carb.

My Honda Shadow 600 VLX doesn't keep an idle. I have to keep the choke pulled for starting and running the engine. Can't drive as any throttle kills it. New battery. What to do?

You need to take you car to a mechanic. It is obvious you do not know what you are doing. Your battery is in the electrical system. Your choke is in the fuel system. They are separate. It is normal to pull out your choke to start your engine. It is not normal to have your choke out to run your engine. As soon as your engine starts, you should push your choke in. When you pull out your choke, you close the air going into your carb. Then you push in the choke to allow air to flow through your carb. That lets you speed up or slow down. If it won't run with the choke pushed in, try pushing the choke in slower.

What is the fuel to oil ratio on a Kawasaki KX 100?

This would depend on what type of oil you will be using for your premix. The oil base stock is either petroleum, semi-synthetic or synthetic oil and is mixed with gas at a ratio ranging from 16:1 (petroleum) to as high as 100:1 (synthetic). I personally ride a 2001 Kawasaki KDX200 that I run Yamalube 2R at 36:1 with no problems. Although synthetics say you can mix them at 100:1 I would not, that seems way too lean to me.

Consult a Kawasaki dealer or service department.


How do you start your four wheeler?

I own two quads and the starting procedures are similar for both the Polaris and the Kawasaki. On the Polaris, I pull the choke (on a cold start) select run on the on/off switch, and then I turn the key to engage the starter. On the Kawasaki, I select run on the on/off switch, (pull the choke) turn the key to the on position and then press the start button to engage the starter. If the battery happens to be dead on either machine, both are equipped with a pull start which take the step of engaging the starter on the electric start method.

Can you run 10w40 in your ATV?

As a general rule, you probably can run 10w-40 in your quad. This is the the weight I put in our Kawasaki Prairie 400. The best thing to do is check the owner's manual; it will give you an air temperature range. Find the range in which you typically ride the quad; it will then give you the oil weights for that particular motor.

How do you adjust carburetors on 1965 evinrude out board motor Runs with the choke on?

If it runs with the choke on, Then it will not do any good to adjust them. It is running lean/ not getting fuel. The carburetors have dirt in the fuel jets and that is why it won't run when choke is off. When choke is on that richins the fuel up and it try's to run. Need to clean the carbs out.


Do you leave the choke on or off once your motorcycle is warmed up?
