Title: 2005 Kymco Venox runs on choke only
Post by: WineryCowboy on March 22, 2023, 01:55:28 AM

Hello, I’ve been lurking the forums for quite a while now since picking up a Venox last year, finally decided to make an account in hopes of getting help.
Bike won’t stay running unless choke is pulled about 3/4 of the way out. Changed air filter, spark plugs, drained old gas last year before winter and put in new gas with stabilizer before storage. It originally sat in a heated garage for a few years untouched.
Any thoughts or ideas on what to do?

Has that 18 yr old carb been cleaned recently?

And, welcome to the forum!

I’m not sure, previous owner never did anything besides oil and chains etc. I’ll try to take the carbs out and do a thorough cleaning.

Found the problem, one of the float valve pins in one of the carburetors was stuck as in the small spring push pin on the needle was stuck out so basically starving my bike of gas!
