High idle after using choke to start. - Page 3

when my bike did this my choke cable was stuck, it would either stall out or it would rev up super high.

Thanks for the input...currently I"m riding it everyday so I'm not needing to use the choke and the bike is running great. I will probably just order a new cable and replace it when I get it. Seems like it will be a fairly easy process.

choke cable is extremely easy, you do halve to take the old plunger and spring off the old choke cable. all you do is unscrew the cable from the carb and it will pull right out, no pices will go flying out of there or any thing like that, taking a part the little box on the hand grip is easy also, get teh 2 screws out of there, pull that little box apart, unhook the choke cable put the new one in and screw it back togeather, should only take about 10-20 min if you have never done it before., the hardest part will be running the new cable under the gas tank and that is not exactly hard,

it is important to warm up the bike with the choke before you go ride it. you can always just set there and give it a little gas for a few min to make it idle faster. on this little engine you can damage it by running the bike at low idle. remember it is only one cylinder.

If you tie or tape a string onto the old cable before pulling it out you can then use the string to pull the new cable back in. That way as long as the old cable was routed correctly the new one will be too.

that is great advice, as long as you get it right that is the easiest way to run a line threw. just make sure you get out the duct tape and tape it up really good so it does not fall off when pulling it threw.
