65 Dream won't run without full choke

Post by djbarcy » Thu Aug 07, 2008 8:29 am

Carb is clean and bike runs fine with full choke.
With choke off, motor stalls.
Help please.

Thanx

You say "carb is clean" so have you removed and cleaned the jets and idle passages?. ..................lm

Slide installed with the cut away toward the air side? (visible from the intake).
Hose on the brass tube at the bottom of the float bowl?. ..............lm

yup and yup
I was just able to get her to run at idle with the choke off by playing with the 2 screws on the left side but as soon as I give her any throttle she bogs.

Now there's an interesting question.
If it is the one just under the frame that sticks straight out (as opposed to the other one that is closer to the motor and in at an angle), I have tried it everywhere from all the way in to out 3 or 4 turns and there is not much change.
