Title: carb choke question
Post by mdurham on 02/16/08 at 17:26:07

I have a 97 LS650 Savage. I've posted this problem on a previous thread, but have a new idea about the problem.

Problem: Bike starts up great (don't need to choke it), when it warms up, the carb loads up and the will eventually flood out. You can smell the gas, when I crank the throttel to keep it running, black comes out of the exauste. Bottom line, it acts like the choke is still open.

I took the carb off and cleaned it as outlined in the Clymer service manual.

Question: When I have the choked pushed in all the way in, there is sill at least 1/2" of the brass shaft of the choke still exposed. Do you think the choke is not shutting off all the way? Is this how it is on your carbs. I have a Mikuni 24C4...which I'm pretty sure is the stock carb.

I just bought the bike this past fall (for my wife) knowing it had this problem, but got a good deal on it figuring I could fix the problem with a simple carb cleanup or rebuild, but so far hasn't worked.

Thanks in advance for your opinions.

I posted that while I was looking for some stuff, like possibly a carburator.

So much for that solution.

I think the carb type is BS40, and the model number is 24C4, I'm pretty sure they're the same thing.

Thanks!
