Hey guys,
I've been running the bike consistently for about a week now and getting used to servicing everything. But, I still haven't been able to close the choke all the way without killing the engine. I'll even take it on a mile ride at 30% choke and try to close it all the way, only to hear the engine sputter out. I can close it to about 25% before it starts dying. I've read that air leaks can be a problem and so I installed an aftermarket O-ring between the carb and the intake. I've also noticed that my new airfilter has a blue tint to the bottom of it, indicating that fuel has been leaking into it. What could be causing all of this? I should be able to close the choke all the way without killing the engine, right? And my airfilter shouldn't be getting soaked in fuel, correct? I'm going to attach some pictures for reference.
