It has 53k miles on it which doesn’t seem too high for the fact that it’s an 84... after puttin a new battery in it, it starts up with the choke just fine, but it won’t idle without the choke on. Once I get out riding it I can take the choke off and it’ll run but it don’t run strong, it still need just a little bit of choke. I’m going to go get some sea foam today and run it through and see how that helps. When I first got it the slides were stuck in the carb so I had to carefully free those up and clean them and I inspected the diaphragms which were all good. But yes it does need the choke to run. Not very much at all but just a little.
