choke

so i got a late 70's (??????) briggs with a minibike frame. so i decided to put it on my DB30 frame just for something to do, and what i found is that you have to run it with the pull choke thinger out almost all the way. with the choke in, it will idle, but die out when i throttle it up. ive...

All, I am having a hard time finding a part that broke on my sons db30. I think the part is spring and lever but i cannot find the part it is a small sping that is connectec to the bottom of the lever when you accelerate. Also my older son's db30 had the choke swivel snap off is this...

Could someone here (james_c or steve durham maybe) explain to me or better yet provide some pics of how the choke was setup and actuated on a RTS 340 engine? I have nothing of the original choke to go by. I did finally get all my carb parts together today and fire it up for a short easy ride...

Hey guys I started my briggs 5hp up today for the first time after a rebuild, It runs fine with my hand over the air cleaner, but once I take it off it stalls. It's obviously fuel related, does anyone have any ideas on what I should check?

Briggs 6.5 OHV Engine Ok so here is the deal. Runs, but not great when the choke is on. As soon as i take the choke off, it dies. BUT if I hold the throttle full with choke off, it runs awesome, but will die as soon as I let off the throttle. So....I was told by someone here that the...

A vm22 mikuni with a black rubber choke lever on the side if flick down is the choke on or choke off? Sorry seem to have different answers off different people so i need someone to truthfully clear this up for me. As im very confused as my engine will only run with the black lever (not...

i have a 5hp model 130202 and looking for the thumb choke lever. does anyone know where i can find one or have any pics of theres they modified to work. i had to use a zip tie to hold the choke butterfly open. it makes it hard to start with no choke.

i was wondering what the largest venturi bore is that is safe. no rules just want to make a killer stock appearing carb thanks.

Hey guys, I'm new here and I got one heck of a problem. It has everyone I know baffled. I have a 2006 (?) mini baja 165 from CT, bought used. The main problem I'm having is that the choke is acting like the throttle and the throttle is doing nothing... In other words when I move the choke to the...

I just bought a “Mini Baja” with the 5.5hp engine. It wasn’t running, so I got a good deal on it. I took the carb off and cleaned it real good and got the engine running. The main jet was definitely clogged. Once warmed up it idles nicely, but needs the choke half on to accelerate or run at...

Anyone have a junk carb? all I need is the choke lever. I seen ARC is selling new take off, complete carbs for $18- so maybe the lever is a dollar part? It's for one of the clone engines.:chinese:

I'm a new guy on here so I figured I'd try and offer a little tech to maybe help some folks out. I've read on here where some guys are struggling with loose choke slides on these carbs. Some even replaced the whole carb with a different setup just because of this issue. As you probably...

I have a harbor freight 6.5 hp non cali motor, we installed the affordable go carts throttle linkage kit on it and had some issues when the motor is started with gas switch all the way to the right(on) and the choke all the way to the left it starts up great and when i try to back the choke off...

Hello All! I just purchased a bike with an HS40 engine. My preliminary finding is it won't idle without the choke being half on. Also, it does accelerate right. The idle mixture screw does seem to have much affect on the running. The exhaust seems to get hot quick, so I assume I am running...

We ran my son's DB30 with the clone engine on it over the weekend..Other than a couple times in the winter this is really the first we have run it..It has developed kind of a wierd starting pattern where you have to choke it to start it every time..Even when it is hot..Is this normal for these...

I am finishing my 5hp B&S swap on a DB30, and I cleaned the carb up, put a new diaphragm in it, and it starts easy, 1 or 2 pulls. But, I can't get it to give me good throttle response when I open the throttle. If I open the mixture valve (unscrew it OUTwards), it slows the idle, and then the...

Don't know what happened but I wanted to go for a ride and my 6.5 Honda will not run when I take off the choke. It starts up fine warms up and then I can't open the choke all the way or it dies. If I stay on the gas it will but it will not idle.

I just picked up a baja blitz for my kids. It fires up first pull with choke, idles fine when choke is turned off but as soon as i open the throttle it dies. It will idle and accelerate at half choke but not when the choke is off. I am going to replace the plug and change the oil after work...

Hello, I am working on a pretty beat up Greyhounf 6.5HP engine I picked up from a guy. After rebuilding the engine last night, Everything seemed good and flawless. Cleaned the card, ETC.. all that good stuff. Ive been trying to get it to run right all this morning and with no luck so I decided...

I bought an airfilter, velocity stack and choke hold from NR-racing. When installing the choke hold i ran into a clearance problem. The choke hold hits the black external part of the choke. I had to use some thick cork gasket material to take up the extra space inbetween the velocity stack and...
