    Probably have some bits Dave. Contrary to what George thinks, I do think you need a choke. You can compromise with the tuning, but it's a PITA, esp in winter.

    fb what bits you need.

    Yeah J-rad could be right, but I didn't have one for a year and had 0 problems and is that huge red bracket for an alternator or another engine dude hahaha it's huge.

    Ahaha, the bracket was for the A/C condenser, yet to take it off as it's holding the alternator in place.
    As for the choke, this morning was a bit of a struggle to get it going, but when I get it to hold at 1500-2000rpm for a minute, it's perfect from then on.
