Choke
sye:
Nail, magnet, job done 👍
Oggers:
Tried a small magnet, blu-tack, superglue on end of nail, teasing out with a thin wire. All no good, mainly because the ball is covered in grease - which keeps it in the recess. However, I bit the bullet. and drilled a very small hole from the other side and poked it out with the drill bit. Reassembled - with the spring this time! - and I now have a click and a choke which stays open. Hurrah. You cannot see the hole as it obscured by the choke lever - very small anyways
All of this was a huge slice of luck. I found the wee spring on the garage floor last week, wondered where it came from, and kept it. Now I know!
Many thanks for all the help

Do you do the lottery?

Oggers:
Ha ha - no lottery, but a very very lucky find for sure. Wonder if there are spares for it? Bike definitely smoother now it is not running slightly rich!
Lobo:
.... I’m left wondering what design criteria would spring-load a choke to fully closed?? There is ‘potential’ for an engine failure here - possibly dangerous if on a motorways etc.
