Default ALWAYS needs the choke

Latley my quad always seems to want the choke on to start. Even on hot days and after I have been riding, If I let it sit for 10 minutes or so it wont start until I turn on the choke. When I start it up with the choke on it will stall if I turn it off right away.

Anyone know what is causing this and how I can fix it?
Thanks

this happened on our lt80. I just turned the idle up a bit and never had to use the choke again.

I tried turing up the idle screw but it didnt seem to effect the starting at all. I can understand why it would need to be choked after sitting for a day or two but not only 10 minutes. . . If I don't use the choke I can kick and kick and kick and it dosn't do nothing. But as soon as I use the choke it starts first kick. . .

hmmm...

maybe you are in a mirror world and choke means not choked and vise versa[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] or maybe the wire is defective or something

i dont think idle will do anything for start up cuz the bikes not running, mine does the same exact thing and i am pretty sure its just cuz its running lean but im not sure

The choke adds more gas correct? This must mean that the bike will not start because it dosn't have enough gas or. . is lean. Maybe I will try to screw IN the mixture screw and see if that helps.
Thanks for the advice guys

Also going bigger on the pilot jet helps

Sounds like your pilot jet is plugging up, or is too small, or the air screw is too lean.
