My Pocket Bike only runs with the choke on. Ive cleaned the carb and put it back together but it still wont run with it off. Is it any harm riding it with the choke on?
Hi Jarrah. Thanks for your help! Not sure of model. On box it has written Mini Bike and Made in China so dont know if you have PDF for this.
Did you remove the jets when you pulled the carb apart? If not they may still be fouled up. What about the mixture? Was it adjusted correctly when replaced? (Screw all the way in, then back off 1&1/2 to 2 turns). What make and model? I may have a PDF for it! Don't ride it with the choke on, your only going to destroy your engine!!

Sounds like it’s running too lean when the choke is off. Adjust the mixture screw while it’s idling(with the choke on) till it dies. Then with the choke off see if it starts up and will idle. Keep adjusting it till it idles without the choke on.

You probably have an air leak. Spray WD40 around the carb & intake while the bike is running, if the RPMs go up or down, you have a leak. And the next time stay away from human rights violating countries like Communist China.
