Odd little vibrating choke problem.. (Video)

cactusmelba · 08-11-2015, 02:56 AM

The choke seems to vibrate with the pulsing of the engine, and I can rev the bike using the choke lever, but if I simply press the choke to stop it vibrating, the engine cuts out. Every time.. Have I got something set up wrong? (Could be linked to my other thread possibly, about the mixture being wrong?)

The choke lever is missing. I'd buy a new Mikuni and go from there; it'll be easy to find jets, and you'll have a manual choke, rather than a cable style.

This one is only £23.53 including shipping: http://www.ebay.com/itm/MIKUNI-VM26-...136e21&vxp=mtr
