I just purchased a 1997 F3. I took off the tank and airbox, and am now looking into the carbs. I notice a little plate that sits before the throttle butterfly. Is this the choke? When i turn the choke on and off the plate doesn't move. I am not sure if it is supposed to....can anyone offer me any insight?
The slide is vacuum operated and will only move with the engine running. The choke is a circuit in which gas flows inside the carb. To see the plungers operate you have to remove the bottom half of the airbox also. There is a small bar that runs to each carb that slides back and forth and pulls the plungers when you move the choke lever on the handlebar.
