The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

I got myself into a little mixup after i pulled my carbs apart to clean them. I had fuel coming out of the air intake but i fixed it and started another problem. When you pull the rod out for choke, normally it clicks and stays out until you push it back in. now when i pull the choke rod out, it doesn't click it just snaps back in when you let go of it. I found this part on the floor under my workspace and i think it goes to one of the carbs but im not sure. Does it look familiar to anybody?

Which model bike? Stock carbs?
And, if you found that third "part" on your shop floor, you have a serious problem! :D

Seriously, at least you found the part!!!

Doesn't look like any part from Mikuni BS32's. What bike do you have?
 
They are stock Z model carbs off of a 1982 GS300L. Sorry for not posting the model of the bike.
 
I looked at the carb schematic and that part doesn't look like anything on the diagram.

That is why we often make the request that you add a simple signature to show what you ride.
Does not have to be anything elaborate like some of us tend to have. It can simply say "1982 GS300L".

To generate a sig line, go to the User CP in the upper left corner, find the Signature area, generate away.
When you save it, it will become part of all your subsequent posts. Need help? Toss me a PM. :o

Most often, the choke rod detent is a spring loaded ball bearing hidden in a rod support.
 
It looks like a pawl from a ratchet. had one apart lately? :D

where is your choke knob located?
 
The knob is on the carbs on this model .. pulls out by hand like the cable does on the 4cyl bikes.

One of these days when I get some free time, I would like to get rid of that
g@&&*mn cable and convert to a pull knob at the carb bodies. I'm surprised someone here has not come up with a "choke mod" to get rid of the cable.
 
I didn't mind it at all (the manual knob) .. it is more precise than the cable for sure.

You've done this mod?

How about some details and/or pics??

ITs not a mod... If kitten tooth here is talking about twin carbs like on the 400/450/300, they came from the factory that way...like the OLD VMs used to have a choke lever on the carbs..

HOWEVER, it wouldnt be tough to mod the choke like that though..simly yank a "knob" off an old choke cable...and JB weld the hell out of it on the end of the choke actuater arm... Done..
 
Yea it does look like part of a rachet :D I totally had one stop working and it fell apart. Thanks for jogging my memory. LOL
 
lol, my rachets must not fall apart enough. Did you find a small ball bearing down there?
 
Joshua speaks the truth again .. on the GS300L that is the factory setup.

Here is the choke mechanism for the GS300L

I am aware that the 300L used the choke knob at the carbs. What I was inquiring about has anyone done this on the gs bikes with the inline 4?
