Choke applied at every start?

Keith Munson · 05-11-2015, 07:34 AM

Hi guys
New to the site and this looks like the place to be for these questions.

I purchased a 80 G1 cart about a week ago. It runs ok. I seem to have to apply the choke at every start even at a warm engine. Is this normal? Also I know these are 2 stroke engines but it smells so rich with fuel but acts like a lean condition by needing choke at every start. I have gone thru the carb complete and it's clean. Fuel is fresh. Could use a new plug which I will get now as I am going to pull it into the garage to start working on.

Thanks for any and all help

Changed my crank seals and no more choke.

Do it before the motor's toast. Quit driving it. Do a compression test to see if its already toast.

Thanks guys. I see I didn't subscribe to the post and didn't notice any replies. I couldn't take the chance and sold the cart a day later. Sorry for not getting back.
