HELP!!! Need carb choke "arm" advice...

[brad063072]

Well as much as i HATE to type this message, i gotta let you know that I installed the carbs, hooked up the SOS, connected the fuel line to the tank, put the key in the ignition, fired it up, and VROOOOM!!! She's up and running. I walk around the bike a time or two and when i get back to the left side, there's a pretty steady DAMN DRIP coming from the float bowl of carb #1. AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!!!!!!

(sigh) Back to the drawing board, dammit!!! lol

Check the float, prob just stuck. Blast it with a little cleaner make sure its moving freely. you don't even need to take it off the bike.

I took the float bowl off, made sure everything was working and installed properly, and then made sure I put the seal/gasket back on and flush with the lid for the bowl.  All seems to be working fine now with no gas leak.  

HOWEVER...(sigh)...when I went to start the bike I pulled the choke out.  Once the bike fired up, I tried to push the choke knob back in but it won't budge.  Any idea what the problem could be with that and how I an fix it???

Check to make sure it isnt kinked or bound up anywhere. had the same problem when installing mine, just had to work with it and reroute it a few times to get it right. Also try working it off the bike to make sure there isn't a problem with the cable itsself. might need some lubercation or replacement if it's an older cable.

Thanks for the advice, Truck.  I'm thinking i might need a new cable.  What do you think?  lol

They're cheap, mine didn't even come with one.

Thanks for the info and great pictures!  I was stuck on that same spring.  Now I've just got to get to the store to replace the butterfly screws since I neglected to plan ahead.   This site has been a huge help to an amateur such as myself!!  Thank you!
