Won't run w/o choke


Recommended Posts

Rode my daughters 04 crf50 for the first time in about 6 weeks and it won't run with out the choke about 1/3 of the way on. Outside temp was 50 deg. It will just die when the choke is turned off even when at operating temp. It ran fine last time we rode. ?

Before I tear into the carb I thought I'd ask on this forum hoping it's a simple fix.

When cleaning the carb, make sure you spray out all the air intake passages with contact cleaner. You cannot change the pilot jet on a stock 50 carb, you have to make sure the air passage from the airbox side of the carb is flushed with contact cleaner. Another common symptom of a clogged or dirty pilot jet is when the bike runs and idles with the choke on, but dies out when you shut the choke off.
