    Hey!

    I have a slight problem with my bike. When I turn my bike on when it hasn't been used in more than 20 minutes, it warms up and the choke kicks in, which is fine thats what it is supposed to do. But once it has warmed up it cuts out. It is helpful for me because I know then when it is safe to ride. But why does it do this? Surely it isn't normal.

    Also if I try to ride the bike when it isn't warmed up it will just cut out at around 1/4 throttle but if I pull the throttle all the way back the acceleration is amazing, but when its warmed up the acceleration is hesitant..

    I always let it warm up but I was just wondering why. I only know this because a few times I have had to make a quick get away.

    Any replies would be most appreciated! Thanks :D:D

    2 strokes are picky about being warm and when it comes to fuelling. It could generally not be set-up properly too.

    Maybe.. my mates other 2 strokes aren't quite as bad as mine.

    I've just bought a jet which should be here this week I've gone up by 0.02mm to see if that changes anything. I have a 78 in right now and I think its a little too small, the only other one I have is a 90 which I know is too big, I put it in and a load of white smoke come out because it was getting flooded, but the engine ran smoother for about half a mile after that.
