Hi Charles,
The lever from MG Cycle is easily adapted. You need to drill one new
hole in the lever perch about 90 degrees around from the original to
mount it. You'll probably need to find a small roll pin to fit at the
local hardware store unless you still have the remnants of the old lever
- none is included. It keeps the lever from turning on the perch. Where
the cable goes into the lever assy. base is threaded for an adjuster on
the MG Cycle one also - simply drill the hole to fit the cable outer
diameter.
To get full travel from mine, I had to make a 1/2" thick spacer to go
between the lever and perch. A longer 7mm bolt will likely be needed too
(If anyone needs any M7x50 8.8 bolts, I have about 40 I don't need!).
Otherwise the lever would hit my throttle. But since you only need to
pull the lever a small amount for enrichening/choke, this is probably
unnecessary.
As for the splitter, you could use the one MG has for the SPIII, etc.
#2 here:http://www.mgcycle.com/choke.html
Another alternative would be to use the choke lever assy. and cables
from a Convert, G5, CX100, SP, etc. like #1 on the MG page above. They
bolt on at the left valve cover and run short cables to each carb. You
can reuse the Loop bits on the carb tops. Maybe whoever was parting out
the Converts (Tom?) has the whole assy. for you cheap? Hope this helps.

Hello All, I have a problem concerning my choke system (cables and lever)... I wanted to put the flip top ones since I my Ambo did not come with the choke lever and cable splitter... What I learned is that I could only use the flip top choke if I drilled the carbs (which I really do not want to do)... 1) My Question: is there any other way using the flip top choke without having to drill the carbs???? 2) If I decide to go back to the regular choke lever with cable system, where can I find the stock choke lever ??? 3) Saw a choke lever on MGCycle, wondering if anyone could tell me how difficult it is to do the modifications for adaptation ??? 4) Is there a best alternative to the stock cable splitter ???? Thanks for the great help Charles H |
