choke not working?

[snogimp]

when i start my shee it usualy starts okay. but if i pull out the choke knob then it doesnt change. in or out it runs the same. i pulled the carbs to see if there was a clog or anything but it was clear. what could it be?

even after it warms up it is the same. I checked my pilot jets and they are what the local dealer puts in bikes for the dunes. My bro in law has a bike just a year newer then mine and his works fine. we have the same pilots

I figured it out. sometime along the line of getting this thing cleaned up and running last year I mistakenly switched the bottom bowls of the carbs. one is so it can pull fuel from the bowl, the other isnt. so I switched them back and the choke works. now that i have the choke working I can tell she is REALLY rich at idle. she starts with out the choke and the second I hit it she dies. thanks for the input

Well Done! At least you've got a good starting point now.

idle to 1/8 throttle is controlled thru the pilot jet, or maybe your air screws need tweeked a bit.
