That's close enough to an admission for me(wife says I see things how I want to see them
)
Anyway,the float bowls were on the wrong carbs.
You were right in that the only reason it started before was because the slides were in backwards causing an excessive rich condition.
After I fixed that,the bike was still warm so no choke was needed.
The following morning,when I needed it,it had none.
The choke system on the RZ,like most 2t's,is,of course, an enrichener circuit.On the RZ it is on the left carb only so when you pull it on,it opens the passage in the body which is mated to an passage drilled in to the edge of the bowl down to the bottom of it.
The right hand bowl is identical and has the same passage but the hole has a plug pressed into it from the factory so no fuel can pass through it.
Though I had rejetted and changed reeds and whatnot on my first RZ,I had never really noticed the set up of the slides or bowl at the time.
However,me and a buddy decided to go on a couple hour rip one day(first RZ) and I gassed up beforehand and picked up dirt(I've never not run a fuel filter since)
Anyway,our 2 hr trip turned into an 8 hr trip as I had to stop 9 times,take the carbs apart and give them to Rob to stuff in jacket and go find a garage somewhere in the boonies to blow it out.While I waited,I had nothing better to do but poke around at things.Though I cursed it at the time,it was good to know when I bought the second one.
I think that's the only stumper I've got-other than "why the H did I get married anyway?"
