2002 Arctic Cat Engine Runs With Choke On

[wegtech]

Hoping someone can help point me in the right direction . Engine starts and runs but only with the choke on fully.when you open the choke the motor wants to die and you have to keep giving it gas and it starts to back fire.Went through the carb. once but that doesn't mean I didn't miss something .so if someone could point me in the right direction.Thanks

it sounds like its not getting enough fuel .. prolly still has some gunk in the carb ..

If you went thru and cleaned the carb maybe it is something else. Did the diaphram seat properly?

Either not enough fuel or too much air. Check the intake boot from the airbox to the carb and make sure it is secure and not cracked. Some people spray a mist of starter fluid around the carb while it is running and see if the rpms change.

Just rechecked the boot between the carb. and air box. Sure enough there is a small tear ,will order new part and go through the carb. again and repost hopefully this was the problem.Now I just have to wait by the mail box.

The boot cracking is a common problem I hope it works. Either way that was letting unfiltered air into your carb.

No still waiting for replacement parts.I had to order the parts on line.Local dealers don't seem to carry alot of parts inventory.But then again thats alot of money sitting on the shelf.
