    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..

                Is it the screw that goes into the choke rod from the arm?

                    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.
