+ | ==== Choke Shaft ==== | ||
+ | * On 76-78 carbs, check where the choke detent plate attaches to the shaft can get loose and sloppy. ((sportsterpaul's Keihin Rebuild Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_Ek37GEEN4&feature=youtu.be)) \\ This joint can be brazed to tighten it back up and get better choke action. | ||
+ | * During a backfire, the choke can slap all the way shut. ((sportsterpaul's Keihin Rebuild Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_Ek37GEEN4&feature=youtu.be)) \\ Then you kick it 5,000 times wondering what's wrong, you've flooded it, the plug's get wet and you're pushing it. \\ You can put a 0-80 screw into the lower hole in the detent plate to keep the choke plate from slamming shut and causing problems starting. \\ These holes are for a ball detent on the back side of the detent plate. \\ By installing a little 0-80 screw right there, when the bike backfires and they always do, the choke doesn't fully close and will save you a lot of grief. | ||
+ | * When hooking up the choke cable, if you put the mounting screw down, you can't get the air filter on. ((sportsterpaul's Keihin Rebuild Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_Ek37GEEN4&feature=youtu.be)) \\ You need to tighten it with the screw pointing up, at least the after-market air filters. \\ That chrome back plate, when it slips on, there's not enough clearance down there if the screw points down. | ||
