    The crux of it is - The engine needs its fuel as a VAPORIZED mixture. The conversion of the fuel (petrol/diesel), from liquid form in the fuel tank, to the vaporized form, is done inside the carburettor of the motorcycle. It is inside the carburettor, that the fuel is mixed with a jet of clean air, coming from the air filter. This mixture of fuel and clean air is then sent inside the engine for ignition. Especially during winters or when a vehicle has been idle for many days, the engine might face starting problems and needs a little warm up. This can be achieved by providing such a mixture to the engine which is rich in fuel and has less of air content in it. This is where choke comes into the picture. The application of choke reduces the air intake and increases the fuel content in the mixture, when applied. This extra amount of fuel will make the mixture rich. This means more fuel content in the fuel-air mixture and thus quick ignition inside the engine.

    Like the bobber job you or the prior owner did. Re-used the rear signals, would love a close up of that as I'm doing the same thing. Curious what seat pan you used whether custom or one of the commercial offerings. I like these in that you can bobber them without any frame cutting at all and if you save your parts can even convert it back to stock if you really wanted to.

    Can you explain the choke? What it's for, and why the bike wouldn't start?

    • @brockdalgetty4236
      @brockdalgetty4236 7 років тому +5

      Meanderthal17 The choke aka an enrichener reduces the amount of air in the air to fuel mixture thus, makes the mix more rich which puts a higher concentration of fuel into the engine. That is typically needed on an engine that is cold and carbureted.

    @sillyshrapnel 4 роки тому

    do you throttle when you start the bike? I've heard different views on whether or not that is bad for the bike. btw, the manual says to use the choke every time you start the bike, it actually refers to it as the "starter"

    • @xjoe81x

    • @xjoe81x
      @xjoe81x  2 роки тому +1

      It usually needs a full open choke to start. Then after a minute or so you gradually close the choke. There's no need for a choke open while the bike is warmed up and running.
