You guys have mentioned romoving the choke. What benifits come from this? I run Harescrambles. would it help me?

The power gains are minimal I guess you could say,,but it sure isn't hurting it or anything to have it gone....:blah

But what's the reasoning behind it? Why would someone romove it? Please excuse my ignorance.

the choke in the carb has a bar and a butterfly attached to it,,which basically gets in the air flow's way or I guess you could say causes turbulance of air flow,,take your airboot off your carb tonight,,and look at your carb from the air-filter end...you'll see a bunch of crap in the way,,when you remove the choke image that stuff gone,,smooth tunnel for the air to move through...knighttime did a review and had pics on choke removal out there somewere,,maybe I can find it and you'll see the pics and understand what I'm sayin..

Ok, I gotcha. Your right about the benifits being minimal. ( or so it would seem). Would it effect cold weather starting? I have a rev box and it's hard enough to start in the cold with it installed.

You'll need ta chrow a 42 pilot in that sucka to help with cold starts,,,but with that WB cdi you'll always have starting problems..I sold mine,,wasn't worth having a 400ex electric start if the thing wouldn't start. It's also kinda embaressing unloading a $11,000 quad and push startin it..:o

I know the feeling but I've had two harescramble races in a row where I was the last to leave the line because it did not start on the first push. Needless to say I didn't have very good finishes. Thanks for the tips!
