Do I have "Fixed Choke" carbs?

And about the VM choke. There's 3 parts to the choke. A starter jet, starter tube, and the plunger.
The throttle must be closed for the negative pressure to draw fuel. Open the lever/pull knob to lift the choke plunger.
The fuel goes up through the starter jet, then up the starter tube where it mixes with air coming from the float chamber. From there it goes into the plunger chamber and mixes with the starters primary air and then enters the main bore.
This very rich and well atomized mixture is added to mixture being supplied by the pilot circuit.

One last word about the Colortune thingy.
Why do they even have seperate instructions for "fixed choke" carbs, when this design of carb wouldn't be used on our bikes?
Now I'm off to help Earl with them crows.

Evidently it can be used on any type of carb. I just wasn't smart enough to figure out which kind I had. :?

I must report that after using it, I checked my plugs and all four are a nice tan/brownish color for the first time since I've had this bike. I don't hear well and could not set the carbs by sound, and my tach is slow to react, so I had a hard time getting max idle out of it.

I could not have done it without your help, Keith and I really appreciate you taking time to use your vast knowledge of carbs to help us "carburetor challenged" members.

Thanks!

Thank you too Terry! I learned something through this topic too.
