You left your choke on while riding 1994 Honda Shadow 1100.and it sputtered to a stop the interstate Does leaving cause this?
Leaving the choke on while riding a 1994 Honda Shadow 1100 can cause it to sputter and eventually stall. The choke is a device that enriches the fuel mixture by restricting the airflow into the carburetor. This can be useful when starting a cold engine, which is the only time the choke should be used. Once the engine is warmed up, the choke should be turned off. If the choke is left on while riding, the engine will receive too much fuel and will eventually run out of gas. Additionally, leaving the choke on can cause the spark plugs to foul and the engine to overheat.
