fuel Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 when using the choke it runs way more rich than usual, you would use heaps of fuel but not only that the excess fuel mix will wash the oil off the bores in the cylinders leading to increased wear of the rings/pistons and bores. Basically it's not a good idea. If you want cruise control, go buy a cruise control unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
