ehall1 Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 sup guys, somewhere here i read theres supposed to be an air hose connecting the carb with the mechanical choke to the carb with none? iv'e looked and theres no hose coming off the one and going to the other? besides fuel lines. is it supposed to hook on the other side of the primary choke as though you were lookin right through the choke and then go to the secondary were the choke pull would be? this might explain why this beast has been a m/f er to start since new two years ago. thanks ahead of time Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.J. Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 Ed, wassup dude, welcome to the HQ. This tube, normally it's a black hose. Cheers J.J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nater006 Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 Surprised it hasn't burned up due to an air leak. If its still running strong after 2 years, dang... what oil are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehall1 Posted September 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 yep just checked and its gone probably never been there. the picture helps a lot thanks guys. that must be why i had to kick the shit out of it to get it started and it liked to die when clutch was pulled in a lot if i didnt keep er reved up. think if its been off a while it leaned it good enough to screw something up? should i take the head off and have a look? if so were do i get new gasket and how much? thanks ahead of time Ed also no special tools needed right? just remove head and have a look? should i try and remove any carbon buildup why i got it off? as for oil yamalube 32/1 thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.J. Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 Ed, I reckon a compression tester will be a good investment at this stage. Check you compression before you buy anything else and base your decisions on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doodle Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 I had the same thing happen the other day. I kicked & kicked & kicked the S.O.B. and it wouldn't start. Starting looking for air leaks and found the choke tube had fallen off. I can't believe you could get it started cold like that without it on.

ehall1 Posted September 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 believe it or not could never get it started in mornin when cold always thought the choke didnt work so i carried a dawn detergent bottle filled wit premix and just gave it a little tiny shot and it fired right up always, then when warmed would always fire. as for compression tester i got one. whats stock reading? and can you get a good reading after its warmed by just the kick stater? thanks guys Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kick that mother until the pressure stops increasing, both sides. Depending on you elevation and atmospheric conditions, you should be shooting for about 120psi per cylinder. If there are huge deviations in pressure, say 5~10%, between cylinders and/or you're below about 105psi give or take a few, it's time to open that bad girl up for some remedial measures...
