    Where to find a quality pic of choke rail components?

    I believe after doing a carb cleaning job, I think I accidently lost a spring or something on the choke rail. Is there even a spring there because the rail doesn't retract the way it should. (in my opinion).

    If anyone has a good shot of the rail, please either send it to me or post it here. Much appreciated.

    We really need to know what bike you have. There are about 3 different mechanisms you might have.

        There should be a spring on the right hand side of the choke rail. The parts fishe shows what it looks like.

          BassCliff has some real good photos of the carbs on his welcome page.

            Some pictures I took during various rebuilds, maybe they show what you wish to see?













            It's smoke that make electronic components work.
            Every time I've let the smoke out by mistake, they never work again.

                  Wallowgreen, AMAZING PHOTOS !!! Thanks !! Yeah, I saw the way the spring should sit between #3 and #4. I'm definitely gonna have to crawl around the work table now to see if I can find the missing bastard.

                  Thanks again for the amazing pics. Those carbs look nice and shiny also. I hope the moderators find a home for those pictures of yours for future reference.

                  kudos.

                      What is the function of that spring? Because I just cleaned my carbs and I didn't have one. I checked the pictures I took before dis-assembly too and it isn't on there.

                        The bike in your sig looks older than this type of choke. I'm thinking you have the type that has the cable pulling on a lever instead of going through a curved tube. These have a torsion spring on the lever, instead of the compression spring on the rail.

                          There we go updated the signature, I have an '81.

                            I thought so. The stock carbs on those have the torsion spring and linkage, instead of the bent tube. I'm pretty sure they changed it in '82 when they moved the choke to the left controls.

                              Wallowgreen, you wouldn't happen to have any pics of the choke(starter) and throttle cables attached to these, would ya ?

                              The ones I keep finding everywhere don't have that spring between #3 and #4 and have the mount on #2 for the choke cable.
