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.
Why does my dirt bike only run on choke?
You won’t see one of these on a dirt bike because the choke circuit actually just adds more fuel to the mixture with the same amount of airflow. So, a far too lean air/fuel mixture is why your bike only runs with the choke on.
Why does my air conditioner turn off when I Turn Off the choke?
It can be caused by an air leak. Air leaks can be caused by cracks in the vacuum lines on some carbs, a crack in the air boot, or simply a loose clamp between the carb and the air boot. Remember, more air in the system means a leaner air/fuel ratio, thus causing an overly lean condition when the choke is turned off.

What should I do if my choke is not fully open?
Operate the choke, and you should see a brass shaft move up & down every time you use the choke. you want that shaft open to choke it, and closed when it’s warmed up. Make sure it goes fully open and fully closed when you use the cable operated lever. I’ll try that. In my fuel filter there is a thick metal washer inside that is not centered.
When to open the choke on a CNS carb?
so an n.t. carb…you close the choke to choke it when cold starting, and then open the choke all the way once it’s warmed up. it should run excellent with the choke open. on the cns carb…you open the choke to choke it when cold starting and then close the choke all the way once it’s warmed up. It should run excellent with the choke closed.
Why is my generator running with the choke open?
A clogged main jet in the carburetor, a clogged pilot jet, stale fuel, or leaky gaskets around the carburetor are the most likely culprits. Let’s dive in and quickly go over what you need to do to get your engine running with the choke open so that you can start powering your house! 1.)

What happens when you put a choke on a saw?
Saw pops with full choke, flip up the master control, and it’ll start and rev high for a couple seconds then die. Sometimes it won’t just pop with the full choke on, but run with it on. When I try blipping the throttle, I don’t get any increase in engine speed, it won’t rev up like it does if I don’t blip the throttle, and dies anyway.

Why does my motorcycle engine keep backfiring?
When you are getting too much air and not enough fuel in your cylinder this is called running lean. A lean condition in your engine is terrible for the engine internals. Too little fuel in the cylinder and an excess amount of air can be the culprit to your backfiring problem.
What kind of smoke comes out of an engine backfire?
Prior to yesterday, the engine was running great, plenty of power on acceleration and was the best that it ever ran. Also, after the initial backfire and stumble, when you get to the higher RPM’s the engine runs fairly strong and light black/gray (not rich thick black) smoke comes out exhaust.
What causes an engine to backfire after a compression stroke?
On the other hand, retarding the spark too much after the cylinder compression stroke will not only cause engine to lose power and waste fuel, but can also lead to exhaust backfire (aka afterfire). This is because flames from the combustion can jump through an open exhaust valve and cause unburned fuel to explode in the exhaust system.
What causes an intake back fire in an engine?
This will help locate the system that is having a problem and needs repair. An intake back-fire explosion can be caused by the fuel air mixture being to lean when the engine is demanding power. Every internal combustion engine runs on a mixture of 14 to 1 which is fourteen parts air to one part fuel.
Why do I hear a bang when my engine backfires?
First and the most common way is when the engine is running a small explosion of un-burnt fuel is ignited inside of the intake manifold creating a loud bang which is the backfire sound you hear. This explosion can bend the throttle actuator plate, push intake gaskets outward creating a vacuum leak and even blown apart a plastic intake manifold.
What causes a Chevy 350 to backfire when idle?
If a main vacuum hose such as the power brake booster feed line has broken or failing off it will cause a lean backfire due to the additional air allowed into the engine intake manifold. This problem will be accompanied by high or low engine idle and a harder to push brake pedal than normal.
Why is the choke on my Generator not working?
If the engine is already warm (for instance, if it was running for a while and you are refueling), the choke lever should be set to the RUN (open) position for starting. If the gas tank is full, but no fuel is getting to the carburetor, there may be a problem with the fuel line or fuel valve.
Why does my lawn mower choke not work?
The choke is there to enrich the fuel engine that is why when the engine is hot it doesn’t start smoothly. If you carburetor float needle is not working right it may cause problem also as it will supple slot of fuel when you stop your mower in between the fuels floods into the engine and makes it hard to start it.
What to do if your CARB is not drawing fuel in?
Welcome to the forum. First thing I would do is check the compression. If the compression is low enough it won’t draw the fuel out of the carb. If compression is good then tear the carb apart and clean it up good, making sure all the jets and passages are open. Check the vent line on the gas cap.

What should I do if my car hesitates when I press the gas?
Here’s what you might discover—and what you can do to fix the problem: Dirty air filter. The Fix: Replace the air filter. The spark plugs may be dirty or worn. The Fix: Replace spark plugs. The ignition wires may be bad. The Fix: Inspect and replace ignition wires. Ignition system problems. The Fix: Check distributor cap or rotor.
How often do you set the choke on a weed eater?
If you want to set your weed eater well, you need to set the choke to the on position and pull the starter rope not more than six times. If that doesn’t work, set the choke to a halfway position between on and off and pull the starter rope three more times.
What causes smoke coming out of top of vertical shaft engine?
Smoke rises out of top of horizontal shaft engine or flywheel screen on vertical shaft engine. Paint or oil burn off. Battery cables reversed causing charging stator to short out. Defective regulator-rectifier causing charging stator to short out. Electric clutch – No running clearance.
What causes an electric clutch to short out?
Defective regulator-rectifier causing charging stator to short out. Electric clutch – No running clearance. Running out of fuel. Running out of oil in crankcase.
What should the choke be set at on a carburetor?
Adjust the choke such that the choke plate just touches closed at 68 degrees F. (65~70 degrees is close enough). Tighten the retaining screws. For the divorced choke, the same setting applies, but bend the operating rod to set the choke plate.
What’s the difference between an integral choke and a divorced choke?
The integral choke is an integral part of the carburetor. The divorced choke resides on the manifold (divorced or remote from the carburetor) and has an operating rod from the choke to the carburetor. In general, carburetors with divorced chokes use a separate choke-pulloff to open the choke.
Why does my Chainsaw stall when I press the throttle?
If your chainsaw stalls instead of producing the reassuringly high-pitched sound of a healthy engine when you press the throttle trigger, something is interfering with efficient fuel combustion.
