#11835 roadstarga (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 71 Choke not increasing idle 2 Years, 1 Month ago   I am new to the forum and have just purchased an 05 road star silverado 1700 with aftermarket pipes (straight pipe no baffle) and aftermarket intake (Maxflo). I believe the carb has been rejetted. The bike runs beautifully but when I start it with the choke out it does not increase the idle speed much and smells of gasoline. Is there a way to check for choke function or is this normal? Thank for any input.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #11839 DocShadow (Admin) Hmmmm .... send beer Admin Posts: 11027 Re:Choke not increasing idle 2 Years, 1 Month ago   If your bike is jetted properly then you should not be able to start the bike when it's cold without touching the throttle. When set up, the bike will start with the choke pulled out without having to touch the throttle. Your choke may not be functional. Take the carb apart and clean out the choke plunger area.

I've always given a little "goose" on the throttle when starting maybe from my dirt bike days. I adjusted my normal idle speed after she warmed up and it appears to be working OK. Thanks for the help.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
