Choke cable eliminator

[matt_tidball]

Mine stuck once, but I use it all the time while WFO in a wash. It is nice to richen up a bit when I feel the need. Now I know how it feels when the problem happens, and all I had to do was pull the lever a little harder to make it unstick. For now I'm keeping the lever.

What is sticking? The internal cable itself? Not enough spring to get it back?

Or is the cable housing slipping out of the nipple?

If the latter, I would try safety-wiring it in place.

My bike has also recently developed similar problems with the bike running fine on low revs, then spluttering and just not getting into powerband properly

So i stripped the carb and cleaned it out properly checked float level, but now i am suspecting that the choke is getting pulled out and not closing.

As i am not in the US how can i convert back to a normal choke on the carb?

mine was always getting stuck half open and was getting quite annoying so i went back to the carb mounted choke as well

I bought a regular choke from Carb Parts Warehouse in Cleveland, Ohio. 216-635-1099. Cost me $25.00. Just unscrew the cable operated unit from the carb and screw in the new choke. You don't have to modify anything and you still have the complete cable unit if you want to go back to it.

I was thinking that would work. Thanks for verifying it.
