Hello,
I have Suzuki DT200 and I'm finding very difficulty to let it start without fluding the carburetor with Carburetor Cleaner or putting petrol in the ballers..

Is there any starting procedures for the Suzuki DT200 ? I can see in the Throttle Control switch starting engine, written "Press to Choke".. Do I need to press it all the time before it get started?

How I can rule out the issue is from Choke or something else?

Regards

You will have to learn the trick of it ... a suzuki will always be miserable when it comes to starting it up after a while .... pump bulb, lift throttle lever, push and hold key until it takes for the first time, then after that just turn the key no more pushing the choke ... don't let it rev too high when cold, just so it idles high for a few minutes until it is warmed up ...
