Fair dos. The sticking choke is mainly the plungers themselves, mine builds up a bit of crap where the plunger seats so it won't shut off properly.

I have same issue with 2001 curvey, Alternator coils checked out, but battery and the bike die after 20 ish miles.
In the end I had faulty alternator coil, which shorted when hot, the lacquer insulation on the coils had small cracks which opened up to create an electrical short path. After fitting a new alternator and cover gasket I had a problem with the bike stalling at junctions or traffic lights. As the fuel tank had been moved to remove and re-route the new alternator harness it is common to trap the fuel tank breathers, which can also cause the bike to stall when idling, as in my case. |

Interesting, thanks for sharing. I suspect your alternator was living on borrowed time, once any sort of short circuit starts in the windings they burn out fairly quickly.

Yes, the technical term F***ed.
While at Lucas some fair years ago now, the same used to happen to their alternators, mainly they failed due to the in built rectifier diode packs though. I believe the hot oil can age the lacquer quickly. |
