Ok so this might be some obvious stupid mistake on my part but after cleaning the carbs (full strip down and dip as is recommended on this forum) my bike will start and run but any amount of choke will drop the RPMs. I know the bike only running on choke is a symptom of needing to clean your carbs, which was a problem I was having which is why I decided to clean the carbs again, now I am having the opposite problem. I can see the choke move and I'm sure it's pulled out. I tried to search this forum and google for anything obvious. Any Suggestions before I tear the carbs off to look for my mistake? I followed the instructions from Basecliff's webpage and even replaced all the orings again.

Have you only started the bike or have you had a chance to ride it?
Knowing that you have just had the carbs apart, I would suspect something was missed in the re-assembly process or something is grossly mis-adjusted.

Well I cleaned carbs on some bikes and afterwards there was no need for the choke to be used. They started just fine without it and ran fine. You may have just done such an awesome job that you made the choke pointless.:cool:GSRick

I doubt it, unless you had them on the tight side of the spec. If it starts ok and stays running, then you have no need to use the choke. Ride it and enjoy it. No need to stress out over a none issue. Merry Christmas and go for a ride.Originally posted by mrhedges View PostLast edited by gsrick; 12-25-2018, 01:01 AM.:cool:GSRick

2nd that. Very common for the passages in the float bowl to get clogged. Opening up the enrichment circuit with those clogged will only add air. A stiff fine wire poke along with some carb cleaning spray will usually open them back up. You should see a good stream of carb cleaner coming out the port when sprayed from below.Originally posted by chef1366 View Posthttp://img633.imageshack.us/img633/811/douMvs.jpg
