    bike only runs with choke on

    i have an 83 gs1100 that will only run with the choke on. this is my first carburated bike so i have no idea where to start. i am mechanically inclined just need a little "steering in the right direction".

    Basscliff and others will be along shortly with more information, but in a nutshell you need to tear down and soak the carbs to thoroughly clean them, replace the O-rings, check or replace the boots, adjust the valves and sync the carbs. The information is on this site, so in time you will have all the information you need to do the job and get the parts you need.

      OldVet has it right. Learn to use the search function here too (Advanced Search is best if you click "titles only"); all these basic questions can be easily answered by searching out the answer in the archives.
