    Strange choke happenings

    I just rebuilt the carbs and now if I pull the choke lever too high, it bogs the motor. For years the choke would just raise the RPM's. What did I do wrong? I can start the bike fine on 1/4 choke, I'm just concerned that something is different.

    You may have inadvertently changed the choke adjustment when putting it back together. try adjusting the cable first :twisted:

      Checked the cable, it's functioning correctly. I may have put in some air screws wrong or something?

        Sounds to me like you did a good job in rebuilding and cleaning the carbs and your choke is now working the way it is supposed to. Mine works the same way. Congratulations. ITS RIGHT....LEAVE IT ALONE!!!! :-) :-) :-)
