Has anyone had a problem with there choke cable loosening up on the carb? Any other problems with the choke set up ?

 

I heard crud can get in the choke & make it stick & the spring can break.

 

If you power wash your raptor and ride in the mud regularly you will have problems with your choke sticking sooner or later. What happens is that your powerwasher shoots dirt down the inside of the cable and into the carb where the choke plunger resides. I found mine the hard way when all that water and mud froze and locked up my choke. Not a problem starting, but the spring wasn't strong enough to overcome the ice and mud. This means that you are always on choke, which means you won't get anywhere fast.
