RE: Enrichner
Pull out to start when cold, leave it out for about 1 minute while I ride, then close it all the way. Haven't had any problems with the Dyna doing this. Another story on my Sportster - had to follow the manual to the letter: 3 minutes full out, 1 minute half, otherwise it would spit, sputter and backfire.

RE: Enrichner
When it stopped being a choke. The enrichner adds fuel directly into the stream. It does not restrict air flow like a choke (hense the term choke). The reason I asked the question was due to over rich condition. Plugs really black and oil smelled a little like gas. I left the sucker on at work for about 5 minutes (left it idle while I went to take care of something) and was trying to attribute the condition to this action. I usually only leave it on for a minute max but was wondering what everyone else did. Thanks for the replies.

RE: Enrichner
Reminds me of a Honda I had many moons ago. The linkage to the choke inside the carb came loose. No matter where I put the choke lever it was full-on. It would start cold and run great for a few minutes and die for the duration. Talk about frustration until I figured it out...
