Weird Choke Problem
#1
![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Hey guys,
Got a problem with my '95 CBR F3
It was working fine this morning, but, today, i tried to start my bike up after work ended and the choke acted real funny.
When i turned on my choke to full, the bike started up for like 10-20 seconds then stalled.
I coudln't start it on "choke" anymore, so i turned it back to "normal" (the most up position) and the bike started up fine with a bit of throttle. I tried putting it back to choke, but hte bike would just stall and engine would cut off.
Even after i rode it for like 10 minutes, when i tried turning the choke to full again, the engine just dies (rpms drop really fast). The rpms speed up a BIT while im turning on the choke, and then just drop when i apply the choke to ~100%
Also, it doesn't seem putting the choke in the 30-70% position has ANY effect on RPMS
Whats the problem?

If you want to check to see if your choke cable is working, you will have take of the left fairing cover. The choke cable adjuster is located just behind the engine. Move the choke up and down to see if the cable is actually moving. If it's not you can get cable lube from a bike shop, they have a gizmo that can put lube down the cable without having to totally disconnect it. If not, it's no great drama anyway, take it off from the bar and the activator arm and pour some good quality lube down it, until it runs out the othe end. Just make a note on how the cable is routed for putting it back on
If you try to put the choke on with a warmed up motor, It'll splutter & and die, makes the engine run to rich. Chances are that you did not need to use your choke in the 1st place or you used to much of it. And the ambient tempreture that day was enough to keep the motor warm. Carbie problems would be obvious without the choke anyway.
