I own a 2000 grizzly had it for 1 month with 7 miles..I have the choke on full choke..but i still have to hold the thumb throttle to keep the motor running i have to hold it for a couple of minutes..if i just started with full choke it's gonna die on me..you guyz have any suggestions???

 

I only use full choke only when it is well below freezing. Most of the time I just use half choke but i still have to operate the throttle till the machine warms up a bit, but once it is warmed up it seems to idle very nicely so I don't want to play with the carb.

Mine will start in one crank with the choke on full. Then it will run at a fast idle for about 15-30 seconds before it starts to sound like it is going to die. At that point I turn the choke off and use the throttle to let it run at a fast idle for about 30 more seconds. Then it will usually idle on its own, without any help.

Most carbureted engines require a slightly richer fuel mixture in the winter. Try this, it may help.

Bring the engine up to operating temperature then richen up the pilot/idle circuit if an adjustment is availble, not too much, just a tweak. The engine should begin to run slightly smoother.

If the engine is idling slower than it does in the summer turn the throttle stop adjustment screw just a little to bring up the rpms to the desired level.

Finally fine tune the choke/choke cable so that it is just a hair richer. You can tell when you are just about right, because when you use 1/2 choke on a warm engine the motor will begin to stumble.

I hope this helps.

 

Thank you all for the help....
