Why will my pressure washer only run in choke?
Running only when choked indicates too much air into the simple carb, starving for gas. This is similar to when a motor will only run for a few moments after or while pressing the primer bulb.
Why does your motorcycle only run on choke?
Fuel goes bad after time, and the first circuit/jet to clog with varnished up fuel is the pilot jet. This circuit delivers fuel for idle, and has the smallest passages found in carburetors.
Where is the choke on a pilot jet?
The pilot jet allows the gas to pass through and mix with the air while the engine is at idle (regardless of the choke being on or off). On many carburetors, it is located right below the throttle adjustment screw on the outside-top of the carburetor. There may be a plastic insert sitting on top of it.
Why does my car die when I Turn Off the choke?
The problem is that it will only run with the choke on and the engine will die when the choke is turned off. It will idle fine and rev fine with the choke on and will only operate on 1/2 choke with the revs way up. The air filter looks fine and the gas cap vent is on. Any ideas on what the problem is? Thanks!
What to do if your generator only runs on choke?
Luckily, this is an easy fix and you can probably take care of it without removing your carburetor. First, shut off the fuel valve. If your carburetor bowl has a drain screw, use a 10mm wrench to open it and allow any fuel in the bowl to drain out.

Can a pilot jet idle with a choke on?
Buy a spare. Anytime a engine only idles with choke on is pilot jet/idle circut plugged pure and simple. Having the choke on and idles proves it is NOT the CDI. The CDI doesn’t know when the choke is on.
