Subject: Racing engine....
I had a problem with my @ this morning. On friday, it was fine. This
morning, it started okay, but after the engine was warmed up and I'd
closed the choke, the engine started "racing" ... ie it wasn't idling
down at the 900rpm - 1100rpm range, but in the 2500rpm - 3500rpm range.
The longer I drove it, the less this happened, until after about 55
miles (the trip to work), it was down to around 1500rpm. So once I'd
arrived, I cut the engine, twiddled the choke a little bit (pulled it in
and out a couple of times) and then tried again. This time, it took
forever to start the engine, and when it did fire, it shot up to
4000rpm. Also, the choke cable seems to have gone slack - there's not as
much friction on the little lever as there should be. After about 3
minutes, the engine settled down to around 2500rpm, and the free play in
the choke lever was quite reduced.
Anyone else experienced this? I'm sure it's the choke sticking open, but
as I've not yet got in to the details of the bike (only had it a month)
I don't know where to start. How does the choke work on the @? Is it
anything I can check or am I going to have to dismantle the carbs?
Any help, hints, tips, advice?
