Re: Best choke for downdraft carb?
Well, it looks like I am going to be the outcast here, I run a 97 on a speedster, the carb has a choke, but I never use it. I pump the gas maybe 2-3 times turn the key and it starts right up. sometimes I have had to repeat the process. Yes, when it is 40 degrees out, it is a little cold blooded, but it does just fine. Needs to warm up a bit. When I have run this set up, I have even had ice build up around the throat of the intake. I have run this in cold endurance runs in the Northwest and I have never had an issue where I felt that I needed a choke. I have run it about 8,000 miles without operating the choke. If I really had to, I guess I could manually click the choke open a bit.

Re: Best choke for downdraft carb?
Carl, what else has been done to your engine, and how does that thing run? I assume you have a few hills in Alaska?
