When I have my fuel enrichner all the way out when I start my bike and start riding it with it in the same position.. my bike seems alot faster, and maybe more powerful... Is this the normal thing or is my bike running lean?
If the bike is stock, it was built lean. I've never noticed any extra power with the enrichner pulled out. Other than there is NO power if it's not out when needed. LOL
Under normal conditions, pull it out and let warm up for a minute or so. Push in half way and ride half a mile, then fully closed. That process needs to be modified significantly in cold weather.
If you ride too long with it pulled out, you will foul plugs, and fuel mileage will be worse than a cage.
