I built a motorized bike and was told to start up the bike by, turning choke OFF (leaving the choke open), pull in clutch, start pedaling, let out clutch but keep pedaling even though engine won't fully start (sputter), keep pedaling until engine stops sputtering and starts. Pull throttle and ride
I realized this is wrong and now am wondering if Ive been doing damage to my bike?
I now know I need to close the choke (turn it on), pull in clutch, pedal, let out clutch, open choke (off), then pull throttle and ride.
I just want to know if I did possibly did damage to engine by starting up with choke open (off)
