I can't start my powerwasher. Where is the choke?

The front choke on a motorcycle is typically used to help start the engine by enriching the fuel mixture when the engine is cold. The choke is usually controlled by a lever or button located near the throttle, and is typically only needed when starting the engine from a cold state.

To connect the front choke on a 2000 Suzuki Intruder 1400, you will need to locate the choke cable and follow it to the carburetor or throttle body. The choke cable will typically have a small lever or plunger at the carburetor end, which is connected to the choke mechanism inside the carburetor or throttle body.

To connect the choke cable, you will need to attach one end of the cable to the lever or button near the throttle, and the other end to the lever or plunger at the carburetor end. Make sure the cable is properly seated in the levers or plungers and can move freely.

It's important to note that every motorcycle is different, and the specific choke mechanism on a 2000 Suzuki Intruder 1400 may differ from the general information I have provided. If you are having difficulty connecting the choke on your motorcycle, it is always best to consult a service manual or a wiring diagram specific to your make and model.

If memory serves me... there is a lever on top front of the carb, push it down for start, as soon as it starts pull it up. I think it has choke stamped into it.

choke for what? on a fuel injected vehicle the choke is regulated by the ecm in conjunction with a temp sender. on carburated vehicles its either manual, electric or heat rise from the exhaust manifold

I don't know where your choke is physically located. I would say to you, follow the cable to find the choke and I say it will be on the carb or very near it in the air supply channel.

Function of the choke is to restrict the supply of air thereby making the fuel mix more rich (relatively more gasoline to air) for easier starting.

I think you will find the choke easily. Whether you can easily manipulate it directly instead of via the remote location - different question. My guess is it will be difficult to operate. Make your riding experience pleasurable, replace the broken parts. Find parts at your Suzuki motorcycle shop or at a FixYa.com advertiser. Look around this page for advertisements for Suzuki parts.

Thanks for your question. I hope I have been of some assistance to you today.

chokes are usually found on the carburetor body, just behind the air cleaner housing. Some engines don't have chokes though, particularly pressure washers (since not typically used in cold weather). They will have a prime bulb instead.

you will have to try the following start up purge up onece with just water then start the powerwasher if that does'nt give u pressure ther is gaskets inside the pumping sometimes 4 to 8 of them these might be to wore down to hold pressure if u can locate the pump and desemable it run it to ur local dealer tell u need new gaskets put into it

Is your air filter dirty? If so replace it. If it is still doing the same thing try this:

Turn off the fuel valve, or drain the gas tank, then place a rag under the bowl to catch the gas that will run out (the bowl is under the carburetor). Loosen the "nut" that holds the bowl on, and after the gas has stopped draining remove the nut and bowl. Blow out with compressed air, if available. Put the bowl back on and try to start it. If it still will not run off choke, the carburetor probably needs a good soaking or to be replaced.

Change the sparkplug.

try google search on b&s web site with the number off the side of the head or shield. it might not have a choke, just a primer.

you may need to replace your spark plugs

as the idle should remain constant as long as the tune of the bike is good IE oil changes done regularly / plugs cleaned and or gapped , air filter cleaned or replaced all of these can affect your bike.

hope this helps
