Re:Choke cable 1 Year, 2 Months ago  
http://www.mikuni.com/tg_poor_mileage.html Looks like it's a plunger that the choke cable attaches too? It was talking about HD's but concept should be the same. Can't close something more when it's already closed.

The only kink would be if it's possible to push the end of the cable into the carb too far.

No, as flash said the plunger must bottom out to seal bore.

I guess I can cut more off then. The knob still goes tight against the grommet.

Thanks

I tested the choke knob and it cuts really easy so I used a razor blade and cut all the way around the butt end of the choke knob. Basically cut a washer shaped piece about 3/32 thick off.

I'm going to have to check more closely but from what I could see on mine I don't think it's going to work if one has the chrome knob.

Never hurts to have a spare carb like I have does it Musky? I saw one for sale on e-bay really cheap I'll see if I can find it again.

Re:Choke cable 1 Year, 2 Months ago  
Well Snake it appears that the carb has been sold. I gave $50 for mine and this one was about the same proce. I will keep an eye out and let you know if none shows up. I never know if anyone ever gets or even wants some of the finds I post on here for e-bay.

I can tell you for sure Musky. The enricher assembly can't be pushed in too far. The valve will bottom out.
