can someone better explain this hold the throttle open idea and why it would work?
basically what you are doing is airing the carbs out, when you choke a bike you cut off air to the carbs and dump straight fuel into the engine which means you flood it, if done too much, it will put too much fuel in the engine and will cause the plugs to become saturatied with fuel and foul out. holding the throttle open lets air into the engine to help evaperate the fuel.
when you flood a biek too much you will have a strong odor of gas when starting/ turning the engine over

need tires (take offs)? PM me
need a deal on a track day? PM me
disclaimer: I sell used tires (take-offs), these tires have been used at Jennings, Homestead, etc. (road courses for those that dont know) therefor these tires are more used up on the sides than in the middle,
