Can I do two threads back to back? One of my bikes with pull start and a new carb. wants NO choke to fire up, then needs choke RIGHT NOW to keep running. If I had three hands this woud be OK, but right now one hand has to fly over to the choke and catch it in time.
Anybody got any ideas?
I am physically unable to pedal start very much.

The one that needs choke "right now" might be running a lil on the lean side, but more likely the one that never needs choke is prolly rich... nevertheless, if the choke won't stay on/off by itself jus' tighten the lil screw that holds it together, the one under the air filter...

...and ya can start as many threads as you'd like - provided they are at least different topics & in the right subforum :)

Do you have acorn nuts holding the manifold to the cylinder? If so, try regular nuts, The flat inside of the acorn nut might be up against the stud, and not bearing down on the intake manifold flange enough to make a good seal.
