    Lost a choke bolt

    And of course, it's not listed on the fiche. Anyone have any clue on the size, or is it just going to have to be something I try until I find the right one?

    If the carbs are off the bike, maybe the local hardware can help..Take the carbs with you and try some of their metric selections..worth a shot.

    I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

      Doesnt look like it needs to be a special hardness..just a pviot point.

        They aren't off. I'd planned on just riding it up there and asking them if they'd let me grab a bolt and run out to try it.

          Thats what I'd do too. ACE Hardware would be a great place to start?

            I hope you still have the bushings!! Yeah they are usually cool about letting you check.. its probably a 4 or 5 mm..

                    That's my plan. It's the closest place, and it's small enough that they'll probably let me try some bolts out.

                        It's the same as all the others, M4 16mm is what I put in mine



                        I didn't loctite mine but that's because I'm removing it to hook up a 'bar mounted choke lever once I get my spark issue sorted and first start out of the way.
