Pulling the choke lever to the left makes the carbu-
retor provide a richer mixture for easy starting when
the engine is cold.
If starting difficulty or richer fuel mixture occurred,
inspect the choke lever to adjust it if necessary.
Inspection
•
Check if the choke lever returns properly and if the
inner cable slides smoothly. If any irregularity is
suspected, have the choke cable checked by an
authorized Kawasaki dealer.
•
Make sure that the choke lever returns to its re-
leased position all the way.
•
To determine the amount of choke cable play at
the lever, pull the choke lever to the left until feeling
the operation of the lever tough; the amount of
choke lever is equivalent to that of cable play
•
The proper amount of play ranges about 3 mm
(0.12 in.)
at the choke lever.
