1989 Suzuki dt140...<br /><br />My choke solenoid sometimes works or pulls the choke linkage fine and other times doesn't. When it doesn't work you can see it move a little, but it doesn't have enough power to pull it in all the way. I found one post where someone said if the solenoid has any movement, it's fine. He said something is sticking. Is this right? I was going to buy a new solenoid but they are over $100 so don't want to waste money. Is there someway to lube or clean the part that moves into the solenoid? Will something like WD40 hurt it? The linkage seems to move freely by hand.
