Choke linkage on HS4s

[petegardner_901]

Hi

I'm pretty sure of the answer but can someone with a bigger brain than mine confirm the correct position of the connector on the end of the choke linkage - the bit with the spring clip that fits on the jet.

 

Pics:  I assume it's pic 2 where the link is UNDER the jet flange

its brilliant when none of the manuals give you a shot of this , initial idea would be the top picture as the choke effort is to pull the jet down

so the rod reacts on the casting the clip holds it in place   (edit ignore all that   see below )

and while youre in there 

prise the wax cap off add 2x 1p peice and the small spacer inside and refit to get rid of the waxstat problems 

cheap fix works wonders

EDIT   found a clue in the 2000 manual shows the opposite the rod ball under the cast lug clip flat on top as you lower picture  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Pete

Good detective work there. I spent hours trying to find a picture but as you say - nothing.

 All back together now and the Spit is running beautifully

pleased that worked out

there is gremlin in workshop manuals in the one little bit of simple explanation is always Missing 

Triumph were very good at it 

having the clip as thee pull down does seem a little odd   but SU are a little odd in the first place 

have you tried the 1p fix to waxstats   if you start to get hot running sillys    get your pennies out   it really works 

never buy the daft priced load of rubbish sold as a conversion as nothing fits
