Author Message   Buellish Posted on Tuesday, September 27, 2011 - 08:38 pm:        I finally got my '97 S1 back together today, but after I warmed it up,it wouldn't run without the choke pulled out. I had the carb off to replace the top end gaskets,but didn't fool with it at all. I also put new seals on the intake manifold. Anybody have ideas as to what it might be?   Road_thing Posted on Wednesday, September 28, 2011 - 10:37 am:        Stock carb? If it won't run without the choke, your pilot jet is probably clogged. rt   Greg_cifu Posted on Wednesday, September 28, 2011 - 11:51 am:        It depends how long it was apart. Just 'happened' from sitting, yeah--pilot jet (thy ALWAYS do that). Based on the work you just did, it might be an intake leak. Not much point in guessing. The carb has to come off either way. Once it's in your hand, the pilot jet is 2 minutes away. I'd check it anyway, then double check the intake seals.   Buellish Posted on Wednesday, September 28, 2011 - 08:42 pm:        I checked the intake seals with WD 40 and found no leaks.I havn't had a chance to pull the carb to check the pilot jet as I've been working on an S2 transmission. Thanks for the tips RT and Greg.   Fstevez Posted on Wednesday, September 28, 2011 - 09:28 pm:        i had the same problem here...after doing all the seals...i ripped to the carb apart and found it to be just that, the pilot jet....runs like a champ!!!
