okay, on my 650 single line carb....which has an electric choke...i was doing a little cleaning and got up against the red plastic thing that makes the choke work....nothins broke it's just out of adjustment and the choke stays closed and doesnt move when u pull the throttle back....how can i fix this??????

ANY help is greatly appreciated

 

What you're talking about, I think, is the fast idle mechanism. It may have just fallen down too far to fix itself - its happened to me on my DP before. All I had to do was get a flat screwdriver under it, pull the throttle wide open (engine off) and pop it back up. It shouldn't take much force to do it. If it does, look elsewhere. Maybe you knocked the locking clip out of the choke blade rod when you were cleaning it, and its all out of alignment now.

 

i will look at that...but the only thing that gets me is the choke stays closed and u have to hold it open

 

Electric choke or mechanical? Electric should have 12v going to it at all times when the engine is running.

 

its electric....i believe its just the fast idle got outta whack

 

All you have to do to free it up if it did indeed just fall down too far and bind up, like mine has done, is (without the engine running) take off the air cleaner, hold the throttle open a bit to take any tension off the fast idle cam (thats the red things name), and with a long flat screwdriver, gently pry it upwards. It shouldn't take much force to pop it loose - if it does, theres another problem somewhere.
