http://www.grubeeinc.com/USA/STARFIRE SKYHAWK WEB INSTRUCTIONS.htmThere is this Shifter that comes out of the carburetor and I don't know what it is for or where to mount it, I have pictures, also, are those tubes coming out of the carburetor supposed to connect to something, or do they just dangle, and yes, I know the air filter is bent, I blame USPS, and the last photo is my ride, so far.
I have read those directions, it does not saying anything about this part here:
where do I mount it and how do i use it, never seen this before, must be the new carburetor
Anywhere you want to...most install it on the handlebar. When the engine is COLD you may need some choke (restricting air flow through the carburetor), Rotate the lever counter clockwise (about 1/2 way to start), then when the engine is warmed up, rotate the lever fully clockwise (no choke).
LOOK...reread my post.
okay, please take me through how to use it when i start the engine on the bike, as this gives me little insite to how EXACTLY to use it.LOOK...reread my post.
A car/engines relies on the high-temperature of the engine to effectively burn fuel. When starting the engine from cold, the regular amount of fuel is not enough to deliver the required power.
The manual choke was a pull-out lever operated by the driver that opened decreased the carburetor's air-intake slightly, causing more fuel to be fed in and boosting power.
Leaving the choke closed for too long (once the engine had warmed up) resulted in an overly-rich mixture that made the engine stutter and stall. Opening the choke too soon would also stall the engine.
Modern cars use computers to work out exactly the right amount of fuel for each cylinder and injects that fuel automatically at precisely the right moment, making chokes thoroughly obsolete. The advancements came about (in Europe at least) because carburettor based engines could not meet emission targets.
Still of use to drivers of vintage cars. Also small carburated engines - snow blowers, snowmobiles, ATVs? motorcycles etc.
Okay, I just wanted to say thank you for your help, as I have obviously not been reading everything, sorry for being such a hastle.
enrichment..I'll buy that...although the instructions refer to it as a "Choke" I had a CNS in a box of parts I bought. Never looked at it...just got rid of it to the first buyer that came along.
