Default to choke or not to......

My new sportsman 400 HO is up in the mountains of Arizona. so the temp ranges from freezing (20 degrees) to hot (80+). In the cold months i HAVE to Fully Choke or it wont even catch to start...but now that its getting warm do you think i still should pull the choke out?.... all the way....a little bit?


Opinions/experiences needed as this is my first quad and not sure whats best for it. thanks.

if its cold out pull the choke a little or all th way and get ready to push it back in some once it starts. dont need the throttle to start it. if its warm out and your running it pretty much everyday then try to start it w/out and if it doesnt fire pretty much right up then pull the choke some. imo

Yep, on my 500, the warmer it gets, the shorter the pull on the choke.
