        Hi Yash,

        The auto choke in Pulsar 220 works from the input from the temperature sensor which is used to get the temperature of the engine, It sends a signal if the temperature is low to switch on the choke. So might be that you have a faulty temperature sensor and try if choke works by replacing it with any other 220's sensor.

        The stock setting for AFR screw is 3.5 full turns anti clockwise. But the working of AUTO CHOKE has got no link to the AFR setting. It simply senses the cold engine and sends in more petrol into the mixture. Its not that advisable to mingle with the AFR screw as the stock setting is the best and healthy for the engine. Check the colour of the spark plug to find out if the mixture is lean or rich and then accordingly you can change the AFR screw.

        Also you can try out using a different bunk for filling your petrol as adulterated petrol leaves resudes in the carb overnight and can be an issue for troublesome cold start.

            @lokzma.

            Thnkx.
            Petrol refueling its a gd bunk dnt kno whats pro.

            And afr its 3.5 turns rit nw.
            Idle speed is too fine. Cold 1 k and hot 1.4 k
            So carb is ok.
            And might be autochoke may not function at 30 degree celcius.
            May be dont kno.

                  Disconnect the Auto choke it will work fine. i had the same problem with my bike. later i disconnected the auto choke. for more than a year the bike starts with a single crank even in winters.

                    Disconnecting the auto choke would not aid in cold start. For a cold start a rich mixture should be available for the engine to come into life. Without the choke its not possible to add more petrol to the air and one needs more cranks to start the engine when it is cold.

                            you try this thing now..

                            In the morning get on the bike in first gear, do not touch the clutch lever, pull it backwards.. It will move some distance and then gear will lock any further movement.
                            Now start your bike!! Do this every morning.. Its allows maximum intake of fuel and engine starts in one crank.
                            I was doing the same on my fz but then realised that there is no harm in giving it slight throttle during cranking, and now i do it at every start.. Its better than cranking two times.
                            I also tried to show it to my mechanic.. He said the spark plug may be having bigger gap than specified.. But reducing it helped slightly. You can try reducing the sprakplug gap.

                                Hi Yash,

                                First get you temperature sensor checked..... Due to its false sensing, the auto choke isnt working.....
