My cousins T5 will only start if the choke is pulled out even when the engine is warmed up, anyone any ideas on what could be causing this?
Cheers D

Sounds like blocked starter jet in the carb assuming it runs ok once it gets going.

Cheers Henri, he's giving the carb a good clean and the float bowl was full of crap, so hopefully that'll be it sorted.

Is the engine ticking over OK once started or does it idle fast

if the bowls full of crap its pretty much a dead cert pilot will be blocked ,its the smallest hole there n easiest to block, H
