KRMit Posted March 15, 2004 Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 Since I've had my Shee the choke won't stay pulled. I can hold it out while I crank her up and rev it a few times with the choke pulled, then it seems to run fine. This isn't much of an inconvenience, I just want to know if this can cause any problems. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledofthezep Posted March 15, 2004 Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 Mine tends to not want to stay pulled all the way out. It will pull out to the 1st notch, but won't stay on the 2nd unless I hold it. Good thing I seldom need the choke! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
"thenewguy" Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 on the carb with the choke. on the bottom of it is what you call a floater bowl. its just the bottom most part of the carberator. look on side facing the engine. there should be a brass little ball. just make sure its on that carb and not the other. though your engine probably wont start like this. but mine did when i bought it and the choke wouldnt stay out. just double check that. if not that id say make sure its not oily and make sure it doesnt smell like gas, if it does you might be leaking gas from there. if that the case you will need to replace the gasket on that choke peice. or it could just be the put side gaskett. its not really a big deal i ont think. as long as thers no gas leeking out. peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nater006 Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 I have the same problem. Have to hold it out. Luckily the shee isn't as hard to kick as my CR500R's were, so holding the choke while kicking it isn't hard... Been told that replacing the plunger assembly remedies this problem. It runs like $30-40 apparently. Never gotten around to changing mine... for the 4 kicks and 10 seconds of holding it out, I can live with it for now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brugal Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 Tke it apart when you clean your carbs ,you might need a new one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BitchenBanshee Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 It's nothing to do with dirty carbs. That damn plunger gets old on all of the shee's. Either live with it, or buy a new one, and have it happen again a few years down the road!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRMit Posted March 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 It's really not a problem for me to live with it the way it is. I just want to make sure it's not causing any problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
