Anyways I bought it to take my dirt bike around and I've always wanted a ute. I love it though! Just need to know how to fix the issue I have so here goes:
My ute from day 1 has idled really high when cold. When it has warmed up, it struggles to idle!
The choke butterfly is partially open all the time from cold. Sits like this
When it sits like that, the ute idles high and is warming up.
I managed to simulate what happens when it's warm:
If I move the choke all the way to fully open with my finger, or putting my hand under the carby and using the lever, the engine still runs fine for a few seconds and then starts struggling to idle. Same way it does when I'm driving and come to a stop after the engine is warm. If I let go of the choke it'll pop back into place and everything is fine.
HOWEVER,
*If I hold the choke where it is
*then hold a bit of throttle
*then while holding throttle I let go of the choke and then let go of the throttle, the choke sticks in place at fully open and as I let go of the throttle the engine will struggle to idle.
If I give a good jerk on the throttle, the choke pops back into the partially shut position and the engine comes back up to idling high again.
So it appears when the choke is open as it should be when the engine is warm, the motor struggles to idle.
What's going on?
Thank you in advance and I hope to start a project thread as I tidy her up!
