What happens when choke is pulled?
Therefore when the choke lever pulled the valve opens its lid and air inhaled through this lid. It directly sucks the fuel from bucket due to piston vacuum pressure or venture effect. It feeds this excess fuel to the regular air-fuel mixture flow before the engine intake manifold.
Can you run an engine with the choke on?
Leaving the choke on while operating will result in excessive fuel consumption, irregular engine power performance and eventually may even damage the engine. Some engines utilize a manual fuel primer bulb to enrich the ratio of fuel in the fuel air mixture for initial engine starting.
When do you pull the choke out on a motorcycle?
When you go to start your motorcycle you should pull the choke out as shown in the image below. After the engine warms up, you should push the choke back in so it looks like the first image. That’s really all there is to operating a choke on a carbureted motorcycle.
Can a fuel injected motorcycle have a choke?
Before we jump into some of the choke related symptoms a motorcycle could have, lets address this common question. The answer is no, fuel injected bikes do not have a mechanical choke. A fuel injected bike does not have a carburetor. The air and fuel mixtures are determined by the Engine Control Unit (ECU).
When to use a choke on a carburetor?
Utilizing a choke allows you to enrich the air fuel mixture by reducing air flow. This will increase the vaporized fuel in the engine when the engine is trying to start. After the engine warms up, the choke can be pushed close. This will allow the air fuel mixture to be governed by the carburetor.
Where is the choke on a Honda Shadow?
Learning to use a choke can sound like challenge to new riders, but its actually very simple. The choke is normally located on the left side of the motorcycle. On the Honda Shadow, it is located between the cylinders as indicated by the red arrow below. When you go to start your motorcycle you should pull the choke out as shown in the image below.
Can a motorcycle start with the choke off?
I let the engine warm up. As I take the choke off, it stalls when the choke is nearly off. I can ride the bike, but have to leave the choke on half way or it will stall when I come to a stop. Over the winter I left gas in the tank with fuel stabilizer. I also had the fuel valve shut off so gas would not enter the carb.
Why does an engine only run on choke?
An internal combustion engine needs a precise mixture of fuel and air to run properly. When the engine is cold, it needs slightly more fuel in the fuel/air mixture for it to start, which is what the choke does. The choke increases the amount of fuel in the mixture, creating a richer mixture.

Is there a choke on a fuel injected bike?
The answer is no, fuel injected bikes do not have a mechanical choke. A fuel injected bike does not have a carburetor. The air and fuel mixtures are determined by the Engine Control Unit (ECU). If the engine wants a rich fuel mixture for starting, it can automatically increase the amount of fuel injected into the cylinders.
