choke

Fella's...read all the choke related threads but didn't find anything that addressed my new issue. My bike will fire up and run fine (need a little throttle help to warm it up) without the choke. If I use the choke, it will not start. Now...I think this choke issue happened immediately after I...

I was trying to figure out what was making carb#1 hiss when the choke was on, not make vacuum (unsyncable), and figure out why I had hanging revs on throttle blip... SO, I fiddled around with the choke lever and saw gas on the little brass tube coming through the rubber plunger/cover/thing (you...

Hi Guys, I bought a set of used carbs from Tom at Python Motorsports. They look clean and ready to go but I noticed 1 thing that concerned me. When I engage the choke lever it only seems to engage the 2 carbs that are on the opposite side of the choke lever. I can hear those 2 carbs spit air...

I noticed the choke linkage rod that runs from carb #2 to carb #3 was hanging down the other day. Upon inspection I see that the e clip that retains the rod on the bracket on carb #3 is missing, it is still connected on the other end on cylinder #2 I don't see any breakdown of this linkage...

I am assuming its because of the wasted spark system is igniting the extra fuel in the cylinder but I could be wrong. Anybody else have issues like this. I just noticed it once it got colder out here. Only when the bike is cold, and when I have to have the choke on, after its warm it...

im thinking there might be an issue with my choke adjustment. explain to me the functions of the choke on an 05 please? the reason why i ask is my bike in particular ive never used the full choke until this year. a couple times i think i flooded the bike recently. it wouldnt kick off...

hi , please can someone on this earth help me getting this vmax running correct? . i bought a damaged vmax around 6 months ago it was pretty bad the front wheel was crushed flat into the front of the engine, so me being a fabricator decided to fix it and now its as good as new, anyway the bike...

Does anyone know the part# for this Screw , washer set up. I noticed mine are missing so Choke lever floats and can not set choke without holding. Just bought the 88 Vmax 1200 and have started to replace missing parts and screws as I discover them.

Would anyone have a set of junk/disassembled carbs that I could get the choke linkage from. The attached picture shows parts #64 through 73 that I would need. My Venture/VMax project would benefit from the manual linkage that the VMax's use instead of the handle bar/cable control that the...

Anybody know what the machine screw size is for the little set screw that ties the choke arm linkage to the carb. I have noticed that since I have had the bike, it drags 1 cylinder a bit on a cold start, running with the choke. I just figured out why, the left front cylinder has no set screw...

My choke has no stop points for Full and Half choke. Spring loaded so I have to manually hold on the choke during cold start. Works well but have to stay with the Bike untill warms up enough to kill choke. Any Ideas. I do not have the correct manual that matches my carb setup.

Hey guys, Lets start off with jetting recommendations: I'm putting in a set of carbs with a morley muscle jet kit and DJ Stg7 needles. I'm looking for a recommendation on jets and needle clip positons and shims (if req'd) to get in the ballpark. My elevation is 1200-2000'. Planning to...

If i let my bike sit for a couple of hours i have to use the choke. I just got the bike 300 miles ago and it only has 3700 on it. I thought that's weird for an 01 to have to be choked that often. I raised my idle to 1k after the bike warms up but having to choke the bike at start up is a tad...

Just a quick question to help me better understand carbs. When you pull out the 'choke' its not really a choke, it dumps more fuel, so it makes sense it runs better at cold with it on since it needs more fuel to run properly. However once the bike is warm, if you turn on the 'choke' slowly...

How long do you guys leave your choke on after starting? (when and if you need to)? ________ headshops

Can someone tell me the order of the screw/washers for the choke lever? I know the spring goes on first but not sure after that. The screw hole of my old carb was stripped so never used the screw. Now that I swapped carbs (Thanks Fargo!) I can't for the life of me remember how it goes. Thanks.

Have just fired up my Max to balance the carbs to find the choke not staying on and cuts the revs right down to 400 rpms . I noticed there is 2 screws 1 at the bottom and 1 at the back/ front of the bike . Do i need to tighten any of these ?

hi i was wondering if any one has a junk set of carbs that i could rob the choke parts off of or spare choke parts they want to sell i need the choke rod that links both sides together and the plunger fork on the ( sitting on the bike ) right side rear carb. the dealer wants like $150 just for...

My Max seems to go sweet but when on 1st start up with choke it runs rough , what to do next ?:ummm:

Hi folks, I've wondered about the sucking sound the bike makes when choke is applied. If I'm correct, choke just puts more fuel past the throttle plates. why would that cause a sucking sound? also, as long as the cylinders go back in can I be sure my choke is not stuck open? still trying...
