Thanks obriens

Sorry guys i just posted this question in the offroad bike section but this seems like the better option so here it goes Hi guys ive only just bought my bike today and its already running strangely. The bike will start up and run with choke off (down) for about a mile and will then cut out every time i come to a stop, and will only start again with the choke on (up) and will run pretty much spot on. Im sure that up is on and down is off or have i gotten this wrong? If not what could cause it to only wanna run with choke on? Do i have to adjust the mixture screw with choke off untill it idles well? Thank and i look forward to any advice

Thanks haha i got the hint that you wanted an into, not to be bombarded with questions. However i am still lost for ideas on my bike :-\

Hi guys my name is mitchell but you can just call me mitch. I am nearing my 2nd full year of riding and have just purchased a dt 125re to hopefully last me another year until i pass my A2 test. Im from north west london and consider myself to be a fairly competent home bred mechanic ;-)

Thanks for replying, i have done this and all jets are clean. If it only runs/idles with choke on when hot do i simply have to adjust the air/fuel mixture screw with the choke off or will there be more to it than that.

Hi guys ive just picked up my first ever dt125re today any have problems that the previous owner denies all knowledge of :'( First ride was fine for 2.miles until it cut out due to crappy silicone used as a gasket for the float bowl getting stuck in the jet. The carbs been cleaned and bikes back together however from cold the bike runs whith the choke lever down, then a mile down the road it will die as stopping, then will only run with the lever in the up position, is this not the wrong way around? O_o Sorry for the lengthy post guys but i just want this sorted, thanks a lot
