It doesn't rain it pours!!! The bolt that screws in to the carb has sheared, while I was putting everything back together, is it possible to bolt the plunger in place until I can get my hands on a new cable assembly?
Cheers.
Bypassing Choke
Re: Bypassing Choke
One of my plastic fastneners sheared off too and they aren't sold separately. I made up a replacement using some 10mm threaded rod which I drilled on the drill press and filed accordingly. Bit of a kerfuffle but I resented paying £40 for a choke kit when I only need a 10p plastic fitting!
The assembly is sprung so the choke is normally "off", so taping the plunger in will just mean the choke won't work on that carb.

Re: Bypassing Choke
Ideal thanks stratman, I did see your post and am keeping that in mind for a permanent solution currently watching a few bits on eBay so hoping I can get a cheap replacement that way first. The bike is doing my head in with poor quality fixings at the minute. I agree 40 for the kit is a joke!
