Choke closing by itself
OK, I was reading a post about the choke on a sporty closing by itself, and that it really shouldn't. I have a 2001 Custom and just recently when I pull the choke to start, it kind of slides back in. The post said tightning the choke nut. OK, where is that located so I can tighten it up. I know its not broke, because the bike runs great, I just need to tighten the nut, but need to know where the nut is. Any help and maybe a pic to help me.
Thanx

RE: Choke closing by itself
the actual housing twists. When the choke is full in it sits against the black backer about the size of a dime. thats the thing that twists to tighten... righty tighty

RE: Choke closing by itself
Back when I had the Sporty ( I called it the screamin' chicken) I would go out to the garage on a cold morning and with trembling hands I would get a good grip on my **** and tug on it until I had fully choked the chicken. Now I never really had a problem with keeping it erect once I had finished choking it but if you are having this problem thenI can suggest a solution. First you have to get a hold of one of the nuts and hold it still then grasp the other nut and play with it until you get just the right amount of friction to keep it from shrinking backtowards the bodyonce things start getting hot.
It may take some practice but like with most things in life the more you practice the better you get and the better you feel.
Good luck!

Now that I am fuel injected I don't choke it in the mornings which is nicebut I do kind of miss fiddling with my ****.
SportyPig I am not sure if my wife would approve of me getting a girlfriend. [sm=escape.gif]
