So just took it for 3 min drive. without the resistor. The choke did heat up and the idle smoothed out pretty nice.
Will need to tune it abit now. but seems to be ok.
I don't think I will need to worry about the choke turning off to soon in the summer. Maybe in the colder months in the fall.

Just ...

So the ebay carb/bystarter I have, didn't work when I hooked it up to a battery ( as expected, no resistance)
However, I removed the rubber seal and tested the terinals themselves. Got 9.8 ohm, The wires wern't even stripped, just the crimp poking through the insulation (If you were lucky)
I ...

The purpose of going D/c was to avoid using a resistor?
What harm will come If I use the stock bystarter witout the resistor? Just hook the choke to ground. Will it just kill the choke? or harm the altenator/stator?
Heating value of 12v DC vs 12v RMS AC is the same, so it does not change resistor ...

for the resistor... Part number sorry. Is there a cheaper replacement?

But for a bystarter, Aftermarket wise? Basicly I seen some as high as 100 but then can get that cheap carb WITH choke for 30-50. But seem to be junk...

The bystarter uses AC from the alternator, that way it only functions when the engine is running. If you hook it to DC, any time the key is on the bystarter will heat up and close off the extra fuel.

That ok as long as when it don't start or its cold you don't leave the key on, without engine ...

Thanks mousewheels, Kinda what I thought. But want to be safe this isn't the bike you want to screw up on.

Ok so I pulled the choke off the gyro and one from the cpi, Dammit they have different sized base.....
Ok scrap that Idea, but may also kill the pull choke idea.
So on to fixing the problem at hand.
I checked the resistance between the to wire from the choke and I get NOTHING! (on any scale on my ...

The bystarter is a thermal device, power into it is just converted to heat. In the OEM design, half the power is wasted in the external reisistor.

Thus aftermarket vs OEM bystarter resistance may look way off, but power into the aftermarket bystarter is comparable when no external resistor is used ...

Also are these chokes ac/dc sensitive? Could I run it off a "switched" battery source? Like after the regulator/rectifire?

Hey Guys I did A search and founda few topics regarding this issue, but not sure there is a solution yet?
While working on my 85' Gyro TG50m I noticed that the resistor has a wire pulled out of it.
I kinda understand the basic of a resistor but not sure WHY its there between Ground and the E choke ...

Hi I been wondering something about tuning a pipe on a bike that isn't CVT or a single speed.
I have a honda gyro TG50 3 wheeler. its SO SLOOOW I know my muffler is plugged up and it is very restrictive.
I have been toying with the idea of using a Leo vince ZX or a CPI stock 50cc muffler. I would ...
