Choke knob is very hard to pull? What could be wrong and whats needed to fix?

Your choke cable needs some oil and check to see if someone put a big spring on the choke for the return position.

Hello, is your choke cable/knob pulled out? If so, after starting push the choke knob into its seated position. You may need to do this slowly to prevent slalling the motor. Also a clogged or dirty air filter may cause the problem.

The knob for the choke cable should be beside the handlebars & choke should be written on it.
Just pull it up to apply the choke & push it back down when the engine warms up.

If the knob is attached to a cable you will need to replace the entire cable which comes with the knob attached. You can just follow the cable and determine how to route the new one and attach it the same as now to the carb.

Your choke is a pull out knob located under your tank; it is not a part of the carb. You might be able to trace the cable from the carb to the pull out knob.

When was last tune up? Plugs, wires, all fluids & filters? Especially fuel filter? I'd start there and run a good fuel system cleaner (Stp. Gumout, etc..) through it and avoid cut-rate fuel

If you are having to pull that many times something is wrong. It should only take about two or three pulls to get it started. Prime, choke and pull one time than that the choke off and pull again. it should start.
It may have some parts loose that may need to be looked at by a shop.
Good day.

I would take some spray called deep creep and spray it into the cable housing and let it sit awhile,sometimes theyll free up. If not,may need another cable,you can always take the cable off the choke and choke it by hand.

hi jared

the chokeis connect to the carb.it opens and close the trottle.try to locate where to connect the cable to opperate the trottle

bye

I think your bike has a CV carb which doesn't have a choke.It's called an enrichener. Pulling out the "choke" knob merely dumps more gas into the carb. If the bike starts normally with the knob pulled out, you do not have a problem. On a cold/cool day, pull the knob out and start the bike. If it idles faster than normal the system is working. Pushing the knob in should drop the idle speed, maybe stalling the bike if it is not fully warmend up.
