Nah I'm nowhere near Rochester, I'm down in the southern tier. A friend of a friend is doin the work for me, he does the repairs & stuff for the big club in these parts.

Indeed😊 I MIGHT go that route, but I'm more interested in fixing it as a means of learning. It wasn't completely stock when I bought the bike anyway, so we'll see what happens.

Oh and it must be fate, because I was whining about it yesterday, today I get the call from Jireh that it's shipping tomorrow WOO HOO!!!!!

Falicon makes pretty stout cranks, btw. They don't scissor.

At risk of seeming like an idiot, how does the choke/enrichener operate on these carbs? I've been using either a Keihin CV carb or Mikuni for several years, both of which use a cable. This appears to be completely different.

Usually the air cleaner assembly has a lever that connects to the little nipple sticking up on the top left of carb.

It is an enricher and not a choke.. As Griz said there is a lever on the back side of the air filter mounting plate.. Only to be used for starts if necessary because it adds a lot of fuel.. As soon as the motor starts push it down and use the throttle and throttle lock to keep it running off necessary..

Yep! Once I opened the box & looked at the other parts, I saw the lever and did the math.

I didn't realize that was part of the backing plate, I thought it was either part of that plunger assembly or integrated into the body of the carburetor. When I opened the box to get pics, I didn't see that on the carb, & I was like "wut the hell?", another box contained some hardware & the air cleaner assembly lol.

Now I know!
