Hi All,
What procedure is recommended to set the CHOKE on the HD8?
Yesterday, before what feels like our 45th snowstorm this year, the temperature was a balmy 38-degreese and I finally had the chance to change the oil in my BJ8P1. In preparation, I started the engine to warm up the 20W50 to a flowing consistency, and found it very difficult to get enough choke for the engine to finally start.
Over a significant period, I have adjusted the HD8 carbs and set the chokes an uncountable number of times. Still today, I must admit I am having trouble making the choke work properly at ½ or ever ¾ pull when the engine and weather are really cold.
Again, I would be interested to know how others set their chokes?
