    GS550e What the heck? Is this by design or a pervious owners mistake?

    When I pull the choke lever I get very little throttle movement. (Pic is choked) I found the throttle adjustment screw hits the choke linkage causing very little movement ability until unchoked.
    Is this on purpose or put together wrong? Once I unchoke the throttle the adjust screw (blue arrow) can move past the choke clip.(red arrow)

    I don't think the choke is ever supposed to interfere with throttle movement. Those darn pervious owners!

      Can someone post a pic of a similar setup but "correct"?

        Well the next owner can scratch their head at my fabrication if it was intended. I cut it down and placed a groove in it for a flat head to fit. No interference.
