How does a choke work on an ATV?
By creating a richer fuel to air ratio, the engine has more gas to stay running. Once the engine is warmed up though, it won’t need the extra fuel. You shouldn’t ride or rev the ATV while the choke is on. Wait for the engine to warm up, turn the choke off, and then you can ride.
What happens when you turn off the choke on an engine?
The choke increases the amount of fuel in the mixture, creating a richer mixture. This allows the engine to function at its best until it has warmed up enough to run on its normal operating fuel mixture. At that point the choke is turned off and the engine runs with a leaner fuel/air mixture.
Can a choke be left on while riding?
You won’t want to leave the choke on while you ride, the choke could actually stall the engine once it warms up. An idle advance is mostly seen on fuel injected engines, but has the same purpose as a choke.
Do you tighten choke cable on Honda Foreman?
Helps others out as well, it’s funny if I unload a machine and the choke doesn’t stay out I tighten it right there. Then we go through the list of what needs to be done and that is one of them. Yea I need to do it to mine, its been sliding in for about a year now and everytime I need to choke it, its too cold to mess with.
What causes a motorcycle engine to only run on choke?
Tiny debris particles from dirty fuel can easily block a jet, but the most common cause of clogged jets is stale fuel sitting in the carb when the bike or ATV is inactive. When fuel breaks down, it leaves behind a gummy residue, almost like a varnish that builds up on everything it touches, including the pilot and main jets.

When do you close the choke on a carb?
carb, the choke will be a simple, old style plate that opens and closes at the inlet of the carb. If you have to close the choke, it’s telling you that you are getting too much air (making it run too lean). When you close the choke on an n.t. carb you are restricting the amount of air that the carb sucks in.

Is the engine supposed to run with the choke open?
Yes the engine is supposed to run with the choke fully off (or open). If you have an n.t. carb, the choke will be a simple, old style plate that opens and closes at the inlet of the carb. If you have to close the choke, it’s telling you that you are getting too much air (making it run too lean).

How can I tell if my car choke is bad?
What we usually see with a bad auto-choke is that the engine will start up and run great cold, but as the engine warms up there will be problems driving, starting, and/or idling. Remove choke assembly from the choke holder on the side of the carburetor. The needle should be clearly visible.
Why does my car only run on choke?
A split in the air intake boot or a vacuum line, or a loose clamp holding the intake boot to the carb or engine will allow additional air to flow into the carburetor. This excess of air overwhelms the amount of fuel in the carb and creates an overly lean mixture.
What should I do if my ATV wont run?
Don’t over rev it, but if you can keep it running with the choke, let it run at the higher rpms for a short time (about a minute). It will pull the carb cleaner up through the midrange circuits and will help to clean it out. If it seems to be running better, slowly open the choke back up and see where you’re at.

Can a choke be used on a cold engine?
You won’t want to leave the choke on while you ride, the choke could actually stall the engine once it warms up. An idle advance is mostly seen on fuel injected engines, but has the same purpose as a choke. You would use it to start a cold engine.
