I did a search and didn't see anything about this.

I am having problems getting my choke to stay open. When I first start up the bike for the day, it needs to have the choke open, but it keeps closing itself, I have to hold it open with my hand.

Any Ideas?

 

I had the same problem with mine, then I noticed there is a friction **** on it. You just have to tighten that down a little bit.

 

Oh come on! It can't be that easy can it? [sm=boink3.gif]

 

LOL!!!! Yeah, it really is that easy! [sm=laughat.gif]

 

I don't have the problem, but if it makes you feel any better, I didn't know about the friction **** either.

 

Cool! I have had the problem for a month and was just about to put something sticky on the shaft.

Thanks for bringing it up.[&:]

Adder: I found it, applied pliers and presto - it slips no more!

 

was using a clothes pen, but will look for this friction dohicky when i get home in a couple months. seems to be more comon than i thought.

 

Well any more suggestions? The friction **** doesn't seem to be doing anything. Which way are you supposed to turn it? Tighten or loosen? Because no matter what I did this morning that damn annoying choke just kept springing back closed.

Help please?

 

The friction nut should solve your problem. It is the plastic nut below the **** where the enricher fastens to the bracket. However, be extremely careful as it is plastic. You should be able to turn it clockwise to keep the enricher out.

 

Sometimes you have to loosen the hex nut on the back of the bracket and then tighten the friction nut until it works correctly and then tighten the hex nut, but be carefull these are only plastic and can break before you know it.
