HELP!! Enrichner **** stuck..Bike won't Start
Alright Yesterday coming home from work my enrichner **** WAS stuck in. After a little struggle it came out. After the bike heated up the **** would not go back in. It was liek a vaccuum was holding it out, whenever I pushed it in it would push back out. after about halfway through my ride home(15 Miles) I was able to get it halfway in. This morning I go to mess with the bike and the **** moved in and out real loose like it wasnt connected to anything. the bike ran for about a minute then died. It cranks but won't turnover now. whats the deal? does the enrichner **** connect to a cable? or is it hydraulic or run on a vaccuum? I'm hoping the cable just tore or something and I can just replace it. Thanks ahead of time for any help.

It is connected to a cable and it is possible you have a problem with it, but check the friction **** like was stated before, just be sure not to strip the threads, it is plastic.

UPDATE: So I checked the friction **** everything was good there I pulled off the filter and got to the carb. I am assuming that the choke connects to this door because it has fallen and I can move it freely with my finger. I dont remember this door (for lack of a better word) being down in previous times I have taken off the filter. can someone confirm this? I' m attaching a few pictures of it down and me pushing it up. I didnt get a chance to follow the cable today Im gonna have to take the tank off. Im hoping that I can just take out the bad cable and replace it or just reattach it if it happened to disconnect. BTW there were no diagnostic codes.
