sykes Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 hi all i seem to have the choke stuck on the bike....i took the cable of at the top of the carb and the spring is ok but it looks like the choke is stuck in the up (on) position as i take it the spring should push it down once the choke lever cable is released? so looks like the choke slider seems to be stuck to the sides of the carb anybody else had trouble with this and any ideas how i could free it without damage.? cheers for any ideas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelly1 Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 the carb on the ty has a black plastic knob on the side of the carb pull out push in im struggling to understand what you mean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sykes Posted December 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 the choke on my 2007 bike is operated by a lever on the handlebars which in turn pulls a cable that goes into the carb, so it looks like when i pull the lever on the handlebars it pulls on the cable and pulls the choke to the up position in the carb, which i take it is the on position...when the lever is released it looks like the spring thats encased on the cable end on top of the carb pushes the choke slided back down to the off position....i think the older models just had the pull up push down directly on top of the carb but the cable setup is meant to be more convenient. the problem looks like the slider is maybe seized to the side of the carb as i gave it a bit of a push and it would not move so seems to be stuck in the up position looks like a bit of cloudy fluid around the top of the slider so i am thinking if it was maybe water getting down the cable to the carb and then reacting with the different metals between the carb and slider and causing it to stick....i just dont want to put too much pressure on it incase i damage it so was wondering if anybody else had problems with this and how to go about fixing it. i know this is a bit long winded but it hope it is a bit clearer.....as mud..

lineaway Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Best to pull choke apart, clean, and lube all associated parts. Not too many 175`s around. Nelly1 thought you talking about a Yamaha the way it was posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy m Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 I had same problem after bike had been stood, take carb off, strip choke and clean and lube well with wd 40.. check cable and oil that with cable oiler .Make sure routing is as it should be.

sykes Posted December 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 cheers guys will have a bash at stripping it and hope it will free up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breagh Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 If I mind right it's a wee brass plunger that normally comes out attached to the cable. Seen them a bit sticky but they're quite solid so you could get away with a fair bit force. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
