choke frozen inside carb

[Sox]

havent taken the carb apart yet... any ez way to fix this? would a new carb be easier? ive been starting it without the choke or elctric start. now it isnt that bad now... but im a small kid kid and in winter this will be a big pain.

Your bike has the choke slider on the left side handle bar? Could be the cable stuck.

nope took the carb off the engine wen i was fixing it up. the choke is frozen inside the carb, it wouldnt move wen i tried by hand with the carb off. the slider thing is broken too. but i think the cable is ok. i also need to adjust this carb its kinda grumpy. like wen * first start it it idles real high. this often results in wheelies wen shifting into first.

Soak the choke shaft in penetrating fluid for a while before you force it.
