Separate names with a comma.
My Guzzi has a separate 'choke' lever on each carb (PHF36). Once the engine starts, you turn them off one at a time.
Pleasant meet today, fine selection of Italian bikes ranging from new V4R to old classics, to 916/996, to modern Scramblers, to a Paul Smart. I...

Maybe, but I'm not sure about that.
Of the publicly accessible areas, my all time favourite is the Gooseneck. If you want a place with loads of room even if there are big crowds, the...

There is also a filter on the side of the carb body, where the fuel feed banjo is attached. That also might be clogged or wrongly assembled. Easy...
