V45 MAINTENANCE CARBURETOR CHOKE The V45 choke system uses a fuel enrichening circuit controlled by a bystarter valve. The by- starter valve opens the enrichening circuit via cable when the choke lever on the handlebar is pushed up. Check for smooth upper choke lever operation. Lubricate the choke cable, if the operation is not smooth. Push the choke lever on the handlebar all the way up to fully open. Make sure the choke valve is open by trying to move the choke lever on the carburetor, after removing the fuel tank (V45 SABRE) or lifting the fuel tank up (V45 MAGNA). There should be no free play. Adjust if necessary, by loosening the choke cable clamp on the carburetor and moving the choke cable casing so the choke lever is fully open. Tighten the clamp. CHOKE LEVER CABLE CLAMP- Pull the choke lever all the way to fully closed. Make sure the choke valve is fully closed by checking for free play in the cable between the lever on the carburetor and cable casing. Reinstall the removed parts in the reverse order of disassembly.
