Are there any carb kits for the CVK (Keihin) for manual choke conversion?

by Sam Mpss
(Columbia,SC)

I have two 150cc scooters and both are very cold natured to say the least and have been having trouble with initial starts on even mild mornings. It seems after a long warm up all is well and it would be nice to have a manual choke to help.


I have noticed one and only one kit offered for the PD24J type carbs and it is at an ATV shop/store in Georgia (McDonoughPowerSports) and they are very proud of them. Lets just say the cap that fits over the "enricher" and the cable that comes with it,no control mind you, is more than a new carb, go figure.

There must be a line on these things if they are produced and you think they would be because I am certainly not the only one with automatic choke problems.

Anybody out there have any ideas?

Battery Tender Junior in package

A battery tender like the Battery Tender Jr. can make all the difference in whether your scooter will start right up each spring, after being stored for months.

Just about every scooter owner needs to have a battery tender, sometimes called a trickle charger. Unless you are lucky enough to live in a climate where you can ride all year long, chances are your scooter will be put on ice, figuratively-speaking, for at least a couple months every winter.

One of the key steps in winterizing a scooter is to protect your battery from draining during its "rest" period. This can – and will – happen if you leave your battery sitting untended in your cold scooter over the winter, even if it's in a garage or shed.
