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 symbols on a small engine choke typically indicate the choke's position for starting and running the engine. A closed choke symbol usually resembles a closed circle or a line with a dot, indicating that the choke is engaged to restrict airflow for easier starting in cold conditions. An open choke symbol, often depicted as a circle with an open line or no symbol, indicates that the choke is disengaged, allowing normal airflow for running the engine. These symbols help users quickly identify the appropriate setting for optimal engine performance.
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
