Could use some help he Guys ....

I have noticed that sometimes my P650 acts like the choke is on .... this only seems to happen after trail riding
for two hours or so. Won't hardly idle .... black smoke from exhaust like choke on .... ????

( I have cleaned the air filter .... everything looks ok ?? )

???????? thanks

 

The 2002 P650 choke springs are notoriously crappy. Replace them with choke springs out of a '94 KLR 650 and your problem will be solved. The part number for the KLR springs is 92081-1720. They are about 1/4 inch longer than the stockers and are way stiffer. Smartens the chokes up right quick. Remember to order 2.

 

Are the springs independant in some way from the cable ???

Because of how it acts, I kept checking the choke cable **** to make sure it was in the off possition ??

 

There is a splitter assembly on your choke cable that allows 2 cables to come off your main choke cable. The 2 plunger springs are located at the carb end of your choke cables. What happens is that even though you push your choke to the off position, the springs don't have enough "spring" in them to push the plungers all the way in, which is the off position. Once you put in those new springs, that problem is cured.

 

This is one of the things I most appricate about this forum .... good people giving
good advise to help others. Thanks for taking time to help me Guys

I will install the new springs before the next ride.
( this would most likely explain why I only get about 35 miles per tank of fuel !!)
