Thanks, Dave, for the super article on Carb Tuning. The moving diagram is amazing.
I'd like to know more about how the choke works on the PWK.
In any weather, it takes 3 kicks minimum to get the bike to light up at the beginning of the day (from then on, it's first kick). The engine revs real fast with the choke on, but when I hit the button to take the choke off, the engine starves and quits when I give it a tiny bit of throttle to coax it to keep going. So I start over.
Could my float level be too lean?
I moved the needle down another notch because it would blubber at 1/8 throttle (didn't seem to help, though) - - does this effect starting?
Something isn't right. Is it unrealistic to expect first kick starts at the beginning of the day?
Any suggestions on where to start (pun intended)?
Thanks!!
