when i put the choke on at idle the engine still idles. i put a gasket in the carb and also grey permitex on fitting because thought maybe one thier. however no change. i sprayed starter flued around head gasget, intake, out everything and no change. i took the air flilter off and put hand over carb and stalled imidiatly. hopefully it is not fully chocking and thats why choke dosnt stall it but my mechanical knowlede is really small so would like some input please. thanks in advance
 
if it's stalling when you cover the carby, it's prolly set right...check to see if the screw/nut holding the choke-plate is tight.
 
thanks augi. i am having so much fun with this i would hate to kill it. enjoy the weekend i am off riding. having an indian summer here in michigan in the 80's so gonna enjoy it because snow can fly at any time
 
did some changes with the needle today. not much difference no matter where i put it however now when i choke at idle it stalls. is it just me or do we all tinker with these everyday lol. i guess thats part of the fun. change something and gives us an excuse to ride
