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.
