Guest Ben Hadizadeh Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 I have a 2001 Venture. When I pull the choke it starts, when I push the choke back in it shuts off after the warm up. Any suggestion or fix, appreciated.
Pegasus1300 Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 Has your bike been sitting for any length of time? If so it sounds like you to put fresh fuel in it along with a good slug of Berryman's B12 liquid. or B & D Gas treatment. The carbs may be gummed up. You may have to run two or 3 tanks thru it to get them cleaned out. If you check out the tech section here you should also see a complete carb rebuild if it is that bad.
cowpuc Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 Could be a plugged filter not allowing enough fuel to be pumped into the bowls.. Could also be a fuel pump issue.. Of course, could also be idle set to low but that shouldnt happen without someone having messed with the idle adjustment...... ANother possibilty is a cracked intake manifold between the carb and engine, or vacuum line off,,, sucking air..
cowpuc Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 Oh yea,,, check the petcock and make sure its on... Ya know,, I have also seen what you are experiencing caused from blackened plugs...
CMCOFFEY Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 Ben, how many miles do you have on your bike. I think you and I are in the same boat. I have an 01 that is running bad right now. I am changing the fuel filter, spark plugs, removing and cleaning carbs, and sync'ing the carbs this coming weekend. I will let you know if any of this helps. I already ran seafoam through a tank of gas and it helps a bit, but I am still getting horrible gas mileage and the bike is not running right. We'll figure this out.
