I don't think there are any strict rules about this. How your carb is tuned also affects how easy it is to start when cold. If I remember right, if you're running lean it's harder to start when cold. To be honest, I never bother with the choke - I just give it a bit of throttle. If you do want to use the choke, my recommendation is that you turn it to full, then crank your engine. After the engine's running, wait maybe 5 seconds, then turn it to the halfway setting. After another 5 seconds, turn it all the way off. Then you can ride.

 

If the engine dies while the choke is on, quickly turn it off, then start the engine with the choke off. Once the engine is running again, you can put it back on. My reasoning is this: If your engine dies while the choke is on, the carb can be quickly flooded, making it even harder to start. That's why you're better off starting it without the choke in those circumstances before reapplying it.

 

If at any time during this procedure you hear the engine sound start to get thick, low, muffled and bubbly, and seems about to die, quickly blip the throttle a few times cuz it's a sign of excessive richness and if the engine dies at that point, it can be hard to start back up.

 

Like I said, this isn't a textbook procedure, just my experience.

Thanks bro.. Now i know! I was just worried i'd do something wrong and flood my carb or spoil my starter motor... Thanx again
