What is the open position of the manual choke on a motorcycle carburetor?
1 Answers
Motorcycle chokes have two positions: up and down. The upper position is the closed state of the choke, and the lower position is the open state of the choke. Choke Introduction: The choke is a unique device in carburetor-type gasoline engines, used to adjust the mixture concentration for easier starting. Under normal circumstances, it should be kept in the open position. The choke, also known as the air choke, is used to regulate the amount of air entering the engine. Choke Starting Precautions: When starting a cold engine and needing a rich mixture, close the choke (i.e., pull the choke). After the engine warms up, push it back. The carburetor then provides a lean mixture to the engine, which meets combustion needs while saving gasoline. Therefore, don't hesitate to use the choke for starting, as this method maximizes fuel efficiency.
