only runs on choke full

[Anonymous]

i finally friggin fixed my motorcycle, this is not a gs, its a kawi, and ive been wrenching on it for about a year and now ive finally gotten it down to one problem. its only runs on full choke. ive rebuilt the carbs so many times i can do it with my eyes closed. can anyone tell me what this could be

i dont think its getting enough gas, try re jeting with bigger jets

It would seem too low idle adjustment, too small or stopped up pilots would have to be the problem.

if its like my older GS carbs (VM with air and pilot screws) i needed to close my air screws some to get the bike to run off choke.

Is the air box on?

Is the air box on? When I "and many others" first rebuilt my carbs I tried to run the bike without it as an intial test. I had the same problem as you.

Only ran on full choke. Once I put the air box on it ran way better. It still needed the carbs to be ballanced, but it ran.

i dont have an air box , ihave air filters though is that what you're talking about? in which no they werent on

[Billy Ricks]

Running it without filters is part of the problem. Put them back on before you try to figure out where you're at on the jetting.

make sure the carbs are jetted for the filters.

If you have the pod filters make sure the bike is jetted for them.

If not get the correct air box, or replace the jets to match the filters.

You might also want to check for vacuum / intake leaks.
