CB750 K0 Carb Choke Question with Pictures
« on: January 01, 2010, 01:40:49 PM »
Adjusting my K0 carb choke today I noticed some don't retract all the way up. Will this create an issue?
How do you adjust it out, I can't seem to fix it?

Where the choke linkages are held together - you may need to make a single turn on one of them to get it to retract fully - a bit like a turnbuckle---- but it probably won't make very much difference that you would notice IMO.

When you adjust them to close fully, you can't adjust them open fully.
Maybe it doesn't matter they can't open fully.

You want to be sure they close fully when you need the choke on. That little bit you show open is not a problem. Just be sure you can close them all the way on start up.

That's what I suspected. Actually I just put them back in the bike as you described. Thanks Johnie!
