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.
