Hi I Cleaned the Carb and I checked everything and I put some new fuel in it and What happens it start up and runs fine but ONLY ON FULL CHOKE WHY ?? if I release even a little bit the choke the bike cant rev and cuts down ??

PLEASE HELP ??

THANK YOU!!

did you touch either of the screws on the side of the carb the one in a recess may even have a plastit cap over it needs to be gently wound in till it touches the stop then wound out one whole turn and three quarter turns the throttle stop screw will need to be wound out 3 or 4 turns once the bike is running with no choke turn the throttle stop screw in till the engine idles

Now the bikes idles perfectly, But what happens is that if the bike is cold and I put the choke one the bike started and then cut off. I tried to restart it many times but no signs of starting so I took the spark plug off and I saw that the spark plug is dark and the spark doesnt go in the middle but to side So I cleaned and put it back on and it started straight away. SO DO YOU THINK ANYTHING IS WRONG WITH THE CARB SETTINGS OR THE ENGINE IS BURNING OIL SO THE SPARK IS SO DARK ??? BTW the bike doesnt smoke
THANKS !!
