G16 Yamaha choke issue
I have a 1998 g16 Yamaha. When I run it choked it runs great. When I push the choke in, it coughs and sputters until I choke it again. I ran it for 15 minutes choked and it ran great the whole time. What's going on with this thing?

Re: G16 Yamaha choke issue
Check your air filter. If it's clogged it could be causing you issues. Is it burning oil?

Re: G16 Yamaha choke issue
This is a classic symptom of an improperly sealed air box or a cracked carb spacer.

A little bit of smoking but not bad and goes away. I'll check air box.

Re: G16 Yamaha choke issue
Air box seems tight. All clips are on and it seems right

Re: G16 Yamaha choke issue
Then tend to warp over time put some gorilla tape around it where the lid seals see if that helps

Re: G16 Yamaha choke issue
Ok, air box is tight and I even taped the seal so that's not it. I guess next is the carb spacer. Do I need to pull the body off to get to the carb? Looks real hard to get at.

Re: G16 Yamaha choke issue
Run it in nuetral about 1/4 throttle and spray brake clean around carb spacer listen for change in motor if it revs up you have a cracked spacer or bad intake gasket

Re: G16 Yamaha choke issue
G16's and up don't have the intake manifold problem's like a G2 style engine. But, they must have good gaskets between the air box/ carb and spacer to cylinder head. Also make shure the nuts are tight securing the air box. Sounds like a good carb cleaning is also in order.

Re: G16 Yamaha choke issue
Thanks guys. I've checked to make sure things are tight. Haven't tried the carb cleaner trick but I will. I've checked to make sure pump is pumping gas and it's still the same. Runs great with full choke. I went ahead and ordered a new carb and spacer. Not sure what else to do
