1980 Spitfire runs good with choke open?
Hello, my spit starts up with choke on, I warm it up and turn choke off and it wants to bog. As im riding if i pull the choke on, it takes off great. Do these sleds have airfilters? Or what could be causing this?

I would say pull the carb and give it a good cleaning. Sounds like its plugged up

Once you pull the throttle valve off of the idle position you bypass the choke, With that said I agree with Spitfire79 You have either a pilot jet, or a main jet that is plugged or one of the orifices in the carb body is dirty or plugged..
Clean the carb
REFER to " Carb Cleaning 101" in this section
