Should a dirt bike start without choke?

Should a dirt bike start without choke?

the choke usually restricts air into the engine, raising the fuel to air mix to help the engine start. if you have cleaned out the carbs and it now starts without any choke, it would suggest that the fuel is being let into the engine at a higher rate.

Why does Honda Shadow only run when choke is on?

Been troubleshooting an 84 Honda Shadow. Made some progress today and was able to get it to idle good. It originally had some bad gad in it, but since I put some fresh gas in it, it appears to start much easier. Now the issue is that it will only run when the choke is on.

Why does my Virago motorcycle not run without a choke?

I’m trying to figure out what’s wrong with my Virago 250cc. It will only run if you have the choke on. If you let it off the choke the engine switches off. I originally thought that maybe the carbs were dirty. I ran some Seafoam through the fuel system, but it didn’t seem to help.

Why does my car engine not start without a choke?

The engine will start fairly easilly but will not continue to run without feathering/ pushing the key/choke on the shift controller. Is it possible that the electronics within the fuel and oil mix pump or the choke soleniod may be causing any of the troble. Any ideas? Try squeezing the primer bulb and see if it will continue to run! post results!

What to do if your bike won’t run without a choke?

Normally you would keep it on (closed) until the engine warms up and then turn it off (open). If it really won’t run without the choke being closed/on then it’s not getting enough fuel and the carbs probably need cleaning.

Why does my Honda lawn mower only run with choke on?

Bought new carb fron Honda, that didn’t help as it does the same thing. I pulled muffler to eliminate it and still will only run with choke on. I even pulled the valve cover and everything in there looks fine. I’m at my witts end with this engine. I don’t know what else to do to it.
