KarTek Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Guys, the choke knob just won't stay out any more and it's a little difficult to kick the engine and hold the knob out at the same time. So, is there a way to adjust the friction or is it just shot and needs replacement? Any tricks to make it work? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jereme6655 Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Replace. I know Jeff carries good used ones for cheaper prices....l.but as far as I know I've never heard of anyone being able to fix the choke knob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenyboy Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 I'm sure I see a YouTube video before on how to take it apart and maybe fix it, as mentioned above its easy to change, I just bought a new one off of eBay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boone Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 I took mine apart. Pulled the little clip off. Used a hacksaw blade to "re-cut" the groove's on the shaft so they have nice sharp edges again instead of all rounded due to years of use. compress the snap ring a little for a tighter fit into the grooves and re-installed. Works better than new... No bullshit. Otherwise.. you could always just use a twig broken off about 3/4" long and prop the knob out...

AKheathen Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 really?......?.......?.... yah, rounded, is fine..... the clip gets worn out. 90% of the time, that is what it is every time you can pull the worn-down clip and try to make a new one, a micro-torch is essential to get it bent reliably. the clip is located under the rubber boot, and resembles a door window crank handle clip in your car. really, though, if you don't find a brand new choke assy in the $8-14 range, you are doing wrong.
