It leads to a temporary flooding/hesiation situation that is very annoying...
Any suggestions?
Maybe I should drill a little hole thru the other end and put a clip-pin in there... LOL!

Are the spring and ball catches still in place? Very small, and very important. If not, you could add a spring to keep the lever in and only hold it out by hand to start.
Havn't had a chance to check...
Adding a spring to the lever sounds right up my alley.
Thanks!

Boy- You've had all kind of problems with these carbs, haven't you? I think it is time to do a serious total tear-down overhaul. :ohmy:
LOL, I've already done that... maybe a new set is in oder for next year.
There actually starting to run pretty good now after a few more tweaks...
i fixed the choke lever problem temporarily. The rod was slick with lube which let it squirm out under vibration. I simply blasted the whole thing with brake cleaner, now it stays in place fine.
:laugh:
