Can a 03’V-Star 1100 custom start right up?
Hello, I have an 03′ V-Star 1100 custom. The problem I am having is the bike will start right up and idle fine, but when I turn the throttle the bike dies. When i use the choke it doesn’t die i can ride it around with the choke out but no throttle. I have cleaned both carbs and checked the fuel pump all are good.
Why is my throttle not working on my Yamaha V-Star?
Float level too low, air leak between the carbs and intake, primary jets still clogged, CV diaphragms leaking, any other path for air to exceed the fuel flow. wouldn’t reving up the engine with the choke affect how it runs if it was the carb?
What can I do about the choke problem on my V-Star 1100?
Some have been able to simply remove the gas cap or shut off the fuel a short time before shutting off the bike to drain the bowls to help eliminate the issue, but the O ring removal seems to help pretty well. Many have also reported that the problem has all but disappeared when they modified the intake and went to a pod filter set up.
