He's back, hopefully!
« on: April 03, 2015, 08:51:27 AM »
I saw a machined choke/enrichener lever for sale on Ebay and bought one. Turns out it was some old stock from Joe Kenney. I sent Joe a message, and he said that he may be making some parts again in the future. Good news, I think, as his parts were very nice.

What other parts is he making? I saw that lever, and it looks sharp. I may grab one at some point, maybe after I'm done doing the other one thousand five hundred things to my bike..

Is this by any chance useable on a '95 Spot 1100? My plasticky one broke in what,... '98. I'd love to get one of stiffer stuff than the original.

Civilization ends at the waterline. Beyond that, we all enter the food chain, and not always right at the top.

Joe's choke lever will work on the Dellorto flip chokes (on the carbs) or on the 2-into-1 choke actuators like this:

Is he the one who made the keyless gas cap for the guppy tank?  I've got one of those.  Everyone needs one.
