never seen anything like this.

It's so bad i looked for a replacement choke and cable since they are so weird, but cant seem to locate one yet.

that little pencil eraser sized plunger is amazingly stuck and I hear the cable can easily rip out of the plunger with no hope of extraction or saving the carb.

Funny too because the gas tank looks New and the rest of the carb just looks 10x nicer than some of the stuff I've fixed.

wonder if pb blaster overnight will melt anything important like plastic or rubber parts.


and THEN its off to buy some ' no ethanol' gas for 4 bucks a gallon and drain all my trikes and burn that stuff in my tractor.
Heck , that thing can run on anything from gas to kerosene.
