Choke won't stay on... GPX250

[_STAIN_]

just take the switch apart and clean any trace of oil off the plastic choke lever and area where it contacts the handlebar. This is the friction part that holds it on and if it gets oil on it , it will slip back prematurely.

so what exactly is the problem?

'back when i was starting out' i had to hold up the spring loaded choke lever with my left hand, located ON the carb, with my left leg keeping clear and holding the bike up, while the right hand gave a co-ordinated twist of the throttle as the right leg operated the kickstart

since then any choke that stays on is a luxury... and electric start is for cheats
