Hi Guys, My g3ls started and ran fine up until a couple of weeks ago. Now she will start and run with full choke but will not run without full choke. Any ideas guys?????.

Crap in the carb
...
I dont mean you should crap in the carb. I mean give it a clean. One of the jets is possibly blocked.

What he said.

Only running on choke suggests not enough fuel in the mix, so jets, filters, carb apertures and breather hole in tank.
One thing at a time so you know what worked!

Usual disclaimer...now you're looking at fuel issues, it will of course be timing, but follow the fuel rabbit until it's/you're exhausted.

Thanks Guys. I'm Leaning towards Carb. Took fuel filler cap off and pulled pilot jet (no joy) so I thought I'd ask before I
broke something. I haven't touched the timing so I assume it must be fuel but I could be wrong I often am. I'll have a tinker at the weekend and let you know what I find.

Many thanks Mark.
