choke problem

My choke keeps turning on while im riding. I checked after I kicked it then I rode and it started reving. After I killed it I noticed the choke on turned it off and it happend over and over. I think it might happen when im putting it in 1st.

88 kdx 200

88 kdx200, It seemed wierd to me too. I thought it was when I was kick starting maybe something rubbing against it but its easy to check then. Once im going its a little harder to reach it and thats when its happening.

im guessing the choke is used with ur thumb while kick starting it on cold mornings etc.. but should it not spring back automatically when u let go of it? because if this is so maybe ur spring has 'popped out'?

It pops up to turn on and down to turn off. I rarely use it unless its been sitting. it stays down apears to sit well but sum how it pops up. Im pretty sure theres nothing that can engage it internally.

ah rights, im not sure then its a switch choke? i thought it was a little lever which u actually had to hold over while starting, then when engine starts u let go and it moves back. most scrambler type bikes are like that, weird one. na shouldnt be anything that puts it on internally like.

yeah switch choke. I have no idea of how it can switch on maybe too much air pressure.

the air presure shouldnt make a difference to the choke switch because the switch would just pull the cable that basically 'pumps' fuel (and oil if its a 2t) around the engine. any air pressure would be in the cylinder or crankshaft. its a bit bizzare really lol. its probably something really stupid causing it to happen. u try takin it apart and checking everything looks 'normal' lol?

not yet, I thought I would check what to look for first.

I been riding the bike for 20 minutes a day while fixing minor things and stupid things keep popping up.
