Dizzle223 Posted August 2, 2013 Share #1 Posted August 2, 2013 So I just had my carbs done at a local shop. Got them back on the bike and noticed the choke lever didn't feel right. Upon closer inspection I saw 2 of the choke valves (enrichment valves) would not move and the other 2 were sticky. I loosened the linkage on the 2 that were not moving and was able to get the bike running but they are still stuck. Was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and what can I do to free these sticking valves. I've posted a picture of the part if that helps.... Thanks!

Peder_y2k Posted August 2, 2013 Share #2 Posted August 2, 2013 You'll need to examine the brass plunger end, plus the linkage, and, the cable connection for binding. It's possible something was forced and bent, or misaligned. Try a shot of WD40 on the plunger as well. -Pete, in Tacoma Wa USA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg_in_london Posted August 2, 2013 Share #3 Posted August 2, 2013 Be careful when you wiggle it - the bent metal lifter arms are not that strong and it is possible to break the end of the plunger where the groove for the lifter is :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzle223 Posted August 3, 2013 Author Share #4 Posted August 3, 2013 Thanks guys... I ended up pulling the carbs and removing each valve. With a little TLC they are working as they should. Happy riding! Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
