Since the Honda engine came without a carburetor, I tore apart the clone's carb and cleaned it. The choke lever was not fully opening or closing the choke plate. I tried to figure out what was wrong while I had it disassembled, no luck there, but it seemed as though something was missing. I had a friend take a look at it and he figured it out. There was supposed to be a nub on the lever, which had sheered off (the lever is plastic, so how long could it have possibly lasted??). My friend advised me to drill a tiny hole where the nub had been and to thread a screw in and cut it off to length. He even gave me a tiny screw! I was very appreciative, as usual. (This is not the first time that he has helped in matters such as these.)
The carb cleaned up nicely and I am pretty confident that it will do its job.

I need to check the service manual to make sure the float is set up correctly |

I somehow drilled the hole at a slight angle (with a drill press) but the linkage now works as it should. |
