Is it bad to run ATV with choke on?
ATV Only Runs With The Choke On This screams carburetor problems all over it. Sure you could adjust your idle screw first and maybe that will fix it. If the idle screw is set to idle too low, the engine will die everytime you turn the choke off.
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 quad engine run on full choke?
I then started it, and on full choke it would idle fine (idle fast that is but that’s normal on full choke). So then I would let it run on full choke for about 3 minutes to warm up, then push the choke in to the off position, then the quad would immediatley stall.
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.
