BS34 Choke Question

[BeauDallas]

Alright guys, I have a question. I was rebuilding my BS34s and now when I pull the choke, it doesn't stick in the 3 stages that it did before the rebuild. I see that on the rod there are 3 holes that are suppose to catch when you pull the choke. Mine does not catch, it just springs back and forth. Anyone know how to fix?

I have not been in there, but there's a steel ball that is supposed to catch in the holes. When he loses it , gggary replaces it with a ball ground out of a grease zerk.

Where does it go?

It goes in the side of the casting that the choke rod runs through on both carbs. On some sets, both carbs have them, others only seem to have them in one .....

There is a small hole in the outside of the boss that the rod goes through. This allows for removal and installation of the ball and spring into the back wall of the passageway. Unfortunately, if you remove the rod, it can also allow those parts to fall out .....
