Choke lever wanted
« on: 01.04. 2007 12:26 »
Hi guys,

I'm looking to rig up a choke on my '60 A10GF but want to keep the handlebars clear and tidy.  I believe that the original choke lever mounting bracket had two hinges and was mounted on the frame just under the seat.  I can't find a reference to this item in the parts book so I don't have a part number for it.

Does anybody recognise the description, have one of these choke levers spare and willing to sell it to me?

Thanks in anticipation of your replies.

Beezageezauk.

I know the sort you mean, A couple of years ago I tried to move my choke lever to that place you say but the frame being a different diameter I had to put the lever back to where it was before, on the handle bar. Dunno why I bother with a choke it always starts ok even in colder climate.

Not having the genuine article or having found any reference to "special" brackets in parts lists, I assumed it was simply an 1 1/8" lever except such items don't appear to be available. Does anyone with a genuine frame mounted choke have a detail photo of the mounting or can confirm the radius of the choke fitting?

I recently sourced a mount for my A75 choke lever which is a neat little pressed tin fitting that connects the choke lever to the side of the carb flange.

My 1960 Super Rocket is fitted with frame mounted air lever, and you are correct in stating its not shown in parts book, but its listed as correct position in instruction manual. Draganfly make reference to frame mounted lever, so might be able to help.
Here,s a photo of mine pre total rebuild.

I found this picture online, quite different to a normal one but I guess an 1" diameter triumph lever could be filed to 1 1/8"
