Sticky Choke

Orm · Aug 2, 2010

The choke's got a bit sticky and now releasing the choke cable doesn't return the choke.

I've cleaned the choke cable/spring mechanism from gunk, and it's ok, but I think the choke linkage inside the carb is gunged up.

Is this an easy job or will I have to dismantle the carb?

usualy it is the linkage ball joints worn on the link rods check them or a fault with the choke butterfly poppet valves stuck

I removed the rods, and the shaft into the butterfly turned with some effort.

I'll take a look inside.
