If the bike currently stalls once it gets hot this should help.
Assuming your turning the choke off chances are you have a problem with your carb, specifically the choke. Good way to check is remove the spark plug and see if its clean. If you see black soot all over it your getting too rich a mixture and that's likely a carb fault. If so take it off, inspect the choke mech is working properly, make sure when you turn it off its actually all the way off within the carb. Since it off check nothing else is plugged and clean it. reinstall, start with choke on, bring up to temp and start again without choke

Why is my Mercedes 190 e 2.6 hard to start while cold only?
depending on year..... (fuel injection)cold start valve not working try removing it and clean it with carb cleaner if it dont work replace it. (carburettor when cold only) choke not working undo the 3 small screws holdong the choke mechanism to the carb turn the choke unit so the tension on the brass butterfly tightens (at top of carb primary venturi) but not too much if the butterfly is already shut speed up the choke idle speed located behind and to the rear of the choke mechanism. damp in ignition system ( but this would usuall cause running problems too) remove distributor cap dry inside with a rag and spray wd40 or water repellant and refit cap.. also spray around spark plugs and coil, but remember to dry first cos wd4o can trap the damp inside added by bheilers: you also might consider checking the OVPR (overvoltage Protection Relay) located on the firewall in the engine compartment behind the batter on most models. It would either have 2 10 amp fuses on the top or if its a aftermarket brand, would have a single 10amp fuse. Check the fuse(s) if they or it is blown replace and try starting the car again. the OVPR is a common issue with the 190 and 300 series MB's
Why wont your car start first thing in the am but is fine all day after the first start?
It could be that the starter or solenoid is in a bind after the engine warms up. Metal expands and contracts with temperature. This is only a solution if it starts when cold which would be the first time it is started. Try starting it cold then shut it off before it gets hot then see if it will restart. If it won't start when hot maybe try replacing the starter. Hope that helps you out.

Why motorcycles need choke?
For cold starts a choke allows a richer fuel mixture until the engine warms to operating temperature. A Choke is only necessary on motorcycles with a carburetor. Fuel injected bikes adjust their fuel mixture automatically by a local ECU so no manual choke is needed.
How do you lower the start up cold idle speed on a 1991 Toyota 22R engine?
Sounds like you need to have the throttle body linkage assembly cleaned and adjusted. The only other way to do this is to disable the choke linkage assy. but I do not recommend that, especially if you live in a part of the country that gets really cold.

Why do you have to pump the gas pedal every time you first start your 85 buick regal after is has been sitting for an hour or two?
Your car has a carburetor. It uses a choke to provide rich fuel mixture during cold-start operation. The choke can only change position from cold/rich to warm/lean or back again when the throttle is not completely closed (when you step on gas pedal at least a little bit.) Also, pressing the gas pedal puts a little extra gas into the intake to ease cold starting. The faster you press the pedal, the more gas it pumps out. If you pump too much, you can flood it which can make starting hard.

How do you start a Murray lawn mower?

Problems with hard to start lawn mower Fuel is fresh. New Plug. Has new spark coil installed.New Carbutor kit was installed. Thanks for any help?
A problem with a hard to start lawn mower can possibly be fixed by playing with the choke mechanism. Turn the choke all the way out and pump the gas three times, then close the choke nearly all the way and try the key. If the mower does not start, try again pumping only twice.
