Hi guys, yes I share your thoughts on WD40 but I just wanted to see if I could get things going.
The carb's are as described with diaphrams - the choke cable goes to the back of the carbs and fits into a plastic 'slider' which moves along an alloy bar. This pulls open the choke operation on either side of the carbs via a synchronization bar.
From fiddling around the 'sticking' is caused by the plastic slider not sliding - it will slide by hand but the cable pull takes the slider out of square and causes it to jam. The bike has cover 50,000+ miles so it might just be a case of normal wear and tear and the only option will be to see if this plastic slider can be replaced?
Thanks for your thoughts.
Nick
