What should I do if my choke does not work?
If the engine does not start when cranked over for a few seconds, release the key and press the accelerator to the floor one more time to evoke an additional accelerator pump shot. Most automatic chokes have a “clear flood” mode or “unloader” that is carburetor-linkage operated.
How does an outboard choke help an engine start?
This change in ratio between fuel and air helps the engine first start up. Without a choke, an outboard internal-combustion motor may not start up when cold. This is because gasoline does not vaporize efficiently when cold. By increasing the amount of fuel in the combustion chamber, the choke helps the engine start.
Can you adjust the choke while the engine is still warm?
Reinstall the air cleaner assembly over the top of the carburetor. Never adjust the automatic choke while the engine is still warm. Lubricate all linkages around the throttle lever to prevent the lever from sticking. Wear safety glasses when working around the carburetor.
How do you set the choke on a carburetor?
Loosen the three mounting screws from the automatic choke element with a flathead screwdriver. Watch the butterfly valves inside the carburetor while turning the automatic choke element clockwise until the butterfly valves are standing straight up. Turn the choke element counterclockwise until the butterfly valves are fully closed.

How do you remove a choke from a 150cc buggy?
Measure the overall length of the choke from end-to-end, including the very tip of the needle. Now connect the choke’s electrical leads to a 12v power source. Black is negative. Wait 5-10 minutes and re-measure. The needle should have extended. The overall length should be approximately 3mm more than before. How do I remove the choke on the 150.

Is it OK to open the choke on a bike?
If the bike is cold than yes! Close the choke fully before trying to start it, and do not touch the throttle. Once the bike starts and warms for a minute you can open the choke and drive away. This is a good practise as all bikes need to sit for that first minute of operation to allow for lubricating oil to work its way through the engine.
