Honda XR80R problems with choke?
I have a Honda XR80R and it starts with the choke, and as I ease the choke off it keeps idleing, but once I turn the choke completely off the engine cuts off. I've warmed up the engine by riding with the choke, and i've adjusted the idle both ways, can anyone help me?
Clogged pilot jet in the carburetor.
The pilot jet is used in the idle and slow speed circuits.
The choke adds additional fuel to compensate for the lack of fuel that is restricted by the clogged jet.
When you turn off the choke, there's no fuel being delivered to the engine because of the clogged jet.
The opening of the pilot jet is as thin as a pin head and is easily clogged with dirty gas.
Clean the carburetor - especially the pilot jet.
Inside the carb are at least two jets, the pilot jet and the main jet. The pilot jet controls the idle, the main controls the acceleration.
The choke cuts off air flow thru the carb (doesn't give it more fuel).
So, your engine runs while not getting enough fuel to Really run--
So the idea is that the pilot jet is clogged. Time to clean that carb!
- Motorcycle dies when I turn off the choke? I don't know much about motorcycles just started learning how to ride from my boyfriend. I decided I'd ride my motorcycle to the store today to get some more experience so I started it and let it run for a few mins with the choke on and then when I took the choke off it just died. Could that happen if it needs gas? It has some gas in the tank but may be low. I'm hoping it's nothing serious. It's a Honda Rebel 250
- Motorcycle choke stopped working suddenly? I have a 1986 Honda rebel 450 that has never had a problem starting. I always use the choke if its cold and its always worked perfectly. However, the today when the bike was running, i put the choke on to see if it was working and it had no effect on the idle whatsoever. I now can't start my bike easily since the choke doesn't work. Does this sound like a bad choke cable? Is a choke cable the same as a throttle cable? I can't find them anywhere.
- Motorcycle choke not working? My choke stopped working on my 86 Honda rebel 450. Someone was messing with it the other day and found out that if you tug one of the cables, the choke on the carb opens up and is the same thing as applying the choke the regular way. The problem is, i can't figure out what he was doing and how he go the chok to open up. Any ideas what he could have done?
- Honda CRF 150F won't run without choke? 2009 Honda CRF 150F dirtbike, after over an hour riding I still can't turn off the choke. The bike just bogs and shuts off. Will run on half choke.
