Quote:Yep, yours is a genuine 2000 model aka the mk2a. '96 to '98 are mk2. Both are 4TX. Carbs are different for mk2 and mk2a, mk2a also has a leccy fuel pump. Reason I asked was that if it were a mk2 I'd be suggesting you look at the choke plungers and the emulsion tubes as both do wear over time. Your mk2a has different carbs to the mk2 so shouldn't be an issue.
I don't need to use choke in warmer weather, most TDM's are like that.

I tend to pull choke on and start it up without moving the throttle, and once it's fired then just blip the throttle.
Thanks for the info. So Iâm a 4TX MK2A. Sounds like cracking the enigma code.Â
Yes I donât use throttle either; if the choke is set correctly it should start at the click of a button. Like Rallyist and Favs pointed out though maybe I should increase the idle speed a little now that the mechanic showed me where to do it.Â
I should also start buying some oil for top-ups. Do you use mineral oils? Thatâs what I have in mine; my mechanic doesnât believe in synthetics.
