GY6 Enricher / Automatic Choke Operation & Testing

[@andyrbush]

I always wondered how that worked. I had to fit a new carb to my quad and from watching your video I could see that the old carb choke had never worked. Thanks for such a great and clear explanation of the system.

[@thejavaman53]

I was scratching my head off figuring out how it works. On disassembly i found a metal coated disc sandwitched between two wires. I thought it was a piezoelectric device which would only work on certain voltage and frequency. Now i know that it was just a heating element which would melt and expand the wax inside the copper housing pushing the plunger outward.

[@specialks1953]

Many years ago, Frigidaire refrigerators that had an ice dispenser in the freezer door had a device like this that opened the chute door so ice could pass out into a cup. Frigidaire called the device a "hot wax motor". - - In that application it was powered by 120 volts AC here in America. They were reasonably dependable. - - Thanks for your videos.

I love your engine examples. 150 cc, Model IP57QMJ. I have a Xinba in a 2018 IceBear Cyclone trike. Doesn't burn a drop of oil, and even though I have to warm the One Cylinder up to stay running, the 80 miles to the gallon and at 3/4 throttle it's going a smooth 50+, with 11 or 12 grams rollers, gets off fast, then ease it along up to fifty.

[@electronicsNmore]

Thanks for watching!

[@doogy312]

7.5 ohms on mine. Also same on another vid. Mine has a ballast resistor. Yours may not Manufacturer may use higher ohms instead of resister to limit current. Like you stated, there are differences between applications. I would say one is good down to maybe 4 ohms. Check to see if there is movement in a couple mniutes when voltage we is applied

[@WaveAction777]

So if one is having trouble starting their engine on a cold day, removing the whole unit will help the starting since the plunger inside may be stuck in the extended position. Removing the unit will act as though the plunger is retracted.

[@electronicsNmore]

Some people remove the enricher and replace it with a flat plate.

Is it safe to apply DC voltage to this since it is powered by the yellow wire, directly from the stator AC output? The wiring diagrams also shows that it has a resistor/diode in the ground side of the wiring from the enrichment valve. Thanks for the video.

thats what iam wondering aswell

[@elfpimp1]

When my scooter warms up after a few minutes of riding it's power output seems to falter. Barring all other possibilities Would this be an indication of a faulty choke?

[@electronicsNmore]

Sounds like carburetor issues. You can try removing the choke and covering the holes with a metal plate. If the problem goes away, then the choke is the problem. Make sure you warm up the engine, or remove the choke on a warm day, otherwise it will be hard to start up the engine.

My TaoTao 50cc scooter has been really hard to start after 1 yr ownership. I live in FL in a warm environement. When cranking cold, it fires and putts once or twice before dying, I time having to roll it down the driveway, tickling the throttle until it goes due to the engaging of the autobelt/clutch as it catches.. After it tries to die as I give it gas into a corner, it'll rev up and after 3-4 minutes of continuous running, no issues starting or idling anymore. I pulled the automatic enricher out and measured like you did. It's 3/4" cold.. When I turn on the key, it does not move so I assume that the scooter has to be started before the pin will expand down? I use nothing but 100% gas (no 10% ethanol mix). I don't think the automatic enricher is bad. Maybe a carb jet or air/fuel adjustment at cold start? What are your thoughts? Thanks!

Work backwards from what you replaced. If it worked before, you did something. Usually the carb, carb/intake gaskets, or enricher would cause that problem.

Please help! So, I stripped the enricher wires and put my volt meter on there. I started the scoot right up and the voltage was around .5 to .7 then after almost a minute it hit 1.2 volts. Once it warmed up the voltage dropped to .1 and then the bike died, as she always does. Should I be reading around 12 volts during this operational test? I can manually route 12 volts to it if I need to. My scoot is unusable because of whatever the issue is and I now believe this is where the problem lies. Thank you in advance. 🙂

Having a problem with cold idle on my 49cc scooter. When it first fires up it runs ok for a few seconds then the idle goes up and down and usually stalls.

You should not have to touch the mixture screw. I would inspect the o-ring on the enricher, and if it is OK, then suspect a carb problem.

[@electronicsNmore]

The headlight and enricher operate using AC off the stator. The enricher will also work using DC as shown in the video. The enricher is a resistive device which creates heat in order to expand wax driving the piston outward. Should work fine no matter how you connect it up. The yellow wire is normally connected to the yellow wire from the stator.

I read somewhere about replacing the carb it needs cleaned first. something about a wax that there shipped with. any ideas what I should do. ? I have a new carb from Redcat.

[@electronicsNmore]

Never heard that. I heard of plugs.

Hi,i have question,about how the the choke get power...I mean i tested on the mmeter show it goes up and down,each time i throttle the gas,theres no set volt to it..I thought it would be a straight 12 volt to it

[@stanleycorr1839]

It gets power from the stator on the crankshaft. As you throttle up the engine spins faster and the stator will produce a higher voltage. It isn't powered from the battery so no fixed voltage. It makes sense tho because if your engine is throttled up then it'll warm up faster so needing less time with the choke on.

My scooter has been having a problem where it needs throttle for about 5 seconds to start and stay running without shutting off. It runs fine when started however, aside from a foul smell of rich gas coming from exhaust. From what I know, the carburetor is clean, new oils/gas. Oddly, turning the air/fuel screw seems to do nothing in regards to RPM. What can be the problem? I've been told to check compression but I don't have the tools for that.

[@electronicsNmore]

+HelixObscura Sounds like a faulty enricher, faulty carb, or lastly a cracked plastic intake manifold elbow.

[@nicholasscott1206]

I have a similar issue except once I warm it up I go to drop it off the kickstand and just loose all power then dies out once the back tire hits the ground.. I just cleaned the whole carb like 4 times because I didn't do the pilot jet good enough each time so I'm confident the carb is clean also I can't find any obvious leaks any ideas where to start next? Thank you for your videos I find them to be most helpful, simple and direct.

[@tellmesomething2go]

I HAVE A LITTLE HARD STARTING THATS BEEN GETTING WORSE. IF I TTHANKSCOVER INTAKE WITH PALM, IT WILL START.

[@electronicsNmore]

Sounds like a vacuum leak, too much air entering. You need to do a very careful inspection of your carb/intake manifold/enricher.

[@richardhuntt7737]

Hi - I have a 2012 zuma 50. Starts, idles, and goes on 1-3 mile trips perfectly. After a little longer trip it does not want to idle and will cut off eventually. Starts right back up and if you get into the throttle right away it will run fine to get you home. The hotter the engine gets the quicker its wants to cut off. After it sits for 10 minutes, it will idle just fine again. Does this sound like an enricher issue? Thx

[@electronicsNmore]

Hi Richard. It does not sound like the enricher. Since it's heat related, I would check the ignition coil, it may be breaking down. Also check the pick up coil(part of stator), and CDI. You can also buy replacements cheap at the link below. I have a video under my GY6 playlist. :-) bit.ly/2ceq08A

[@richardhuntt7737]

I let it idle from cold to hot without driving it today. Took about 20 minutes to start sputtering. I noticed it started crackling somewhat, At closer look, I could see sparks from around where the spark plug screws in. An obvious clue for you I am sure????

[@electronicsNmore]

RICHARD HUNTT Swap out the spark plug, if that fails, then swap out the ignition col.

[@richardhuntt7737]

It was the plug - thx

My wires were cut on this I have no idea where wires connect there is a yellow and a green and black wire

[@jackdavis8616]

Do you happen to know what the size of the o-ring is. I have a 2020 taotao blade 49cc.

[@electronicsNmore]

No, but you should be able to try a few out. Look for one of the correct diameter that isn't too thick to keep it from going into position.

[@jackdavis8616]

@@electronicsNmore today I went to a manufacturing wholesaler who sells O-rings and when she tried to match up the original o-ring she couldn't find the right size. When she measured it she said it doesn't exist especially in metric as that's what it is. I bought the next size bigger because the next size smaller would have been way to small. That's Japan's for you!

[@azemjc]

hello, I want to put e choke on the scooter, but I have no factory installation for it .. can i take some alternating voltage for it .. ???

[@electronicsNmore]

I don't recommend it.

[@azemjc]

@@electronicsNmore I have to do it because I put a new carb with echoke. Do you know if I can take a constant current from the key ... will the choke return the needle, or stay in the open position?

[@electronicsNmore]

Tap into the wire for the running lights. They only light up once the engine is idling.

[@Roma-rusk]

I have a gy6 250cc automatic brand new from factory. wont go over 55 max and only gets up to 5000 rpm out of 12. Any ideas?

[@electronicsNmore]

Try adjusting the roller weigh size. They could be too light.

[@Schomyly]

I have Aprilia Leonardo 150, and the current from the cable that gives power to automatic choke is about 3,5 v, I think it should be about 12 or more v, why is that happening?

[@electronicsNmore]

Did you measure using AC volts? or DC volts?

[@Schomyly]

electronicsNmore Hmmm, can't remember, I will answer that when I get home, thank you.

[@ninoechavez1402]

Hi man. Everytime i turn on my scooter cold first thing in the morning, i have to let it warm up for like 5-10mins and can't drive it straight away becausenit will bog on 1/2-full throttle. Weird thing is when if it is warmed up, mo jogs and runs fine. Could it be auto choke is faulty?

[@electronicsNmore]

Definitely a carb problem or enricher problem.

[@SharokD]

Nino Echavez Hi, I have the exact same problem with my YAMAHA Zuma 2005 scooter. Did you ever find out what exactly was causing the problem?

[@ninoechavez1402]

@@SharokD hi man. After figuring out for weeks what the problem is, i switched my fuel petcock from vacuum to manual switch on/off fuel valve and it solved the problem as carb is not fuel deprived. Now i can use my scooter after warming up in 4-5mins with no bogs. It is always good to warm up a 50cc scoot after hours or days not being used. Before 10mins is just quite a long wait before i ride on. I am quite happy with it now.

[@SharokD]

@@ninoechavez1402 Hi man. Good. I also fixed my scooter bogs problem. My scooter doesn't have a petcock, but I fixed its bogs problem by adjusting the air screw on the carb. I saw an article that said turn the screws clockwise 3/4 turn and that did it for me. Awesome.

[@danielcaienar2290]

Does the choke cell annoyed need to be greased in anyway?

[@electronicsNmore]

No. Just make sure the enricher O-ring is not dried out/cracked. Lubricate it with silicone grease.
