manual choke question By cobrahd1999 (Read 1,252 times)

I saw a link on how to make your own manual choke but for some reason I can't find it again. My other question is can this be done to a Qlink Siena 150cc I am a newbie as you can tell so I am asking for help.
the link to the site would be great.
thanks to all

You most certainly can and yes the install is in our tech section in the General files:

Also Alley has done it on his trike which has the GY-6 like your Qlink and he has also upgraded it:

If I can ever get the time I'm going to combine the two especially Alley's last upgrade and he'll tell you it works sweet!

I'm sure he'll chime in as soon as he sees this and you'll have the expert on board!

Hi Cobra,
I answered your pm and added the pictures of the parts and links to where to get them.
Also you will need a Bicycle De-Railer cable .

Thanks for your help. I also see you need the enrichment needle and where do you get that lol I know more about Harley then this scooter but learning more on this site. lol

Cobra,
What I did was take an old Enricher and took the Plunger and Needle and modified it to be able to attach the cable on to it instead of using the plunger the kit comes with.

You can google for them just find the cheapest one since you will only use the Plunger and needle part of the choke The rest you will not use.

Cobra why do you want to change over to a manual choke? Is there a reason or is the Electric one causeing problems and if so what is happening and how does it act.

Its been hard to start but when I get a chance I will pull the carb and give it a good cleaning and see if that helps. If it don't that's why I was thinking of a manual choke like I have on my Harley..
thanks again for all your help and this important info..

If it is hard to start it could be you valves are to tight. How many miles on the scoot and when was the last time you adjusted the valves.
I would First Adjust the valves that is most likely what is causeing the hard starts. Do you notice less power and or wanting to die when coming to stops after it is nice and hot ?

You can test the choke to see if it is working it is very easy to test.
Take it off when the scoot is cold and see if the PLUNGER is RETRACTED if it is that means it is feeding extra fuel for cold starts(which its supposed to).

But if when you pull if off COLD the plunger is EXTENDED then it is bad and NOT allowing extra fuel for cold starts.

Here is what it should look like COLD RECTRACTED- GOOD.


Here is what it should look like After the motor has been running for about 5 minutes:
EXTENDED no extra fuel is being fed:
