Bike dies when you shut off the choke.

#1 Unread post by axeman »

Ok, so I'm making a new thread on a new issue I'm having. I can start the bike fine now. However, when I give the bike throttle it wants to die. When I try to turn off the choke once the bike is started and idling, it dies. I can get the bike to "rev" up if I start giving it gas as I'm cranking the engine. Other than that, the bike wants to die if I try to get on the throttle at all. What should I be looking for? Any help would be appreciated.

I'm pretty sure sev suggested turning up your idle in another thread. Try to keep everything in one thread otherwise it clutters up the forum.
