- 99' Speed Triple
08' Bonneville
11' Tiger 800XC
Howdy all!
I just got my first Bonnie! an 08' with carbs.
So excited! I also have a 99' Triple and an 11' Tiger, Just sold my 10' Thunderbird.
The bike hasn't run in a could of years, and had to get a stock set of carbs.
Here is my issue.
The bike starts and runs, but only with the choke on, no matter how long I let it warm up, it dies immediately when I push in the choke.
I have cleaned the carbs, soaked and cleaned the jets, shot compressed air through them. they are definitely not clogged.
It stats beautifully, and idles fantastic. But as soon as I push in the choke, it still dies instantly. It doesn't sputter and die, it just turns off. It acts as though pushing in the choke cuts the ignition or something.
Any ideas on what to check next?
Thanks in advance for the help!
