[downlowcc]

need help with choke lever it goes into three diff position can someone pleasse tell me with position is choke and run and what the 3rd position is thanks

[250r'en +TCB]

Usually up all the way is run
The middle is half choke if it's hot out side or the engines still luke warm from riding
The third middle one is half choke, big surprise there...
Do you even know how a choke works or exactly what it does?????

[downlowcc]

yea i know a lil but if * have time i would listen if you wanna explain lol so cold i should push it down the choke lever all the way down that will put it into cold start ?

[250r'en +TCB]

yes
The point of the choke is to get more gas in the engine than air at first. This heats the engine up faster because it's burning more fuel. If you leave the choke on it floods the engine (too much gas).
When you touch the choke lever your actually moving a plate in the carborator that controls the amount of airflow to you engine.

thanks always good to know somethin new thanks again hey if i open the carb is therer any springs gonna pop out or do i have to use a new gasket ?

[250r'en +TCB]

There is MANY different types of carbarators, I'm no expert.... Some have spring some don't, I honestly don't know,but if I had to guess I'd say probably no springs.
Wear some glasses just in case, lol

when you pull the lever UP.. the choke is ON........ push it DOWN for no choke.

no springs will jump out and take your eye out.. but read up on carbs before you tear into it .. good idea !

[250r'en +TCB]

Whatever..... Different thing I drive the choke is down on, sorry for the mix up but I don't own a 200

[downlowcc]

big no time to read lol other that with * guys here lol and i will wear glasses lol .i topen a 4 carb on motor cycle ** but i also open a controll valve and somethin went flyin out of it lol soo always good to ask lol

[downlowcc]

im gettin no gas at the plug any suggestions there ?

[250r'en +TCB]

What, no gas in the cylinder you mean? If thats the case check the fuel line....

[downlowcc]

yea theres gas at the carb but when i pull to start it and the take the plug out its firein but not gettin any gas

[downlowcc]

yes in the cylinder

[bigredhead]

if the plug is dry after a few pulls.. try removing the plug. with a spray bottle if you have one.. shoot a spray of gas directly in the plug hole.. put plug back in and try again. might be enough to get it going.

next step is to clean the carb
