I became one of the many jacked with the choke and broke the adjuster on my 07 star over tightened and snapped it at the bracket. Tried to get one but their 2wks out. I sat their on my stool looking at it and came up with an idea,so I cut the knob off with my dremel. then pulled the assembly out of the bracket, choke is still attached to the carb.I then took the nut on the back side of threaded part its about 5/8 long and cut it in half made two nuts then put one nut on slid the assembly back in the bracket and put the other half nut on it tighted it very lightly. Then went to the auto parts and got pull knob for a 3/16 rod and set screwed it on the choke works fine it will work its way off from full closed to full open but you only use it to start only. It should work until Tim B. can get one for me. hope you guys understand what I did

Well done ... who would of thought.

I understand,you did what you had to do to get the bike to run Instead of using a wrench to tighten it I put thread tape on mine.I tightened it finger tight so I would not break mine after reading of so many breaks on the forums....Coug

milespif you don't get a replacement soon let me know I have a spare carb that has a cable. I can send it to you if you don't get one.

curt, you have a pm....

M7

thanks Ive got one coming from metric magic 2wks out

you still have a choke cable you would like to part with??

Did the same thing when I removed the AIS off my 05
putting the cable back on I over did it and snap
S O A B let me know
Thanks Rod

Well I don't have it any more M7 got it If I break mine I am going to come up with another way to fix mine. BUT I haven't had my carb off in ages. Yes guys I know that is had to beleave!

Curt, you mean you don't take it off just because? I thought by now you'd be fieldstripping it blindfolded.

He does PapaTom he just don't want you to know.
