Z1A Plastic choke lever

#1 PostAuthor: MrDavo » Fri Jul 31, 2020 11:19 am

Can anyone sell me, or point me at, the plastic lever part of the choke assembly.

My online parts book shows it all as one bar assembly, no separate lever. My 1974 Z1A project came with a bank of rebuilt carbs, choke assembly all present and working, but no sign of the black plastic lever that says 'CHOKE'. The photo below is from a Japanese Yahoo auction, by the way. I wouldn't know how to go about that, especially as bidding is in Yen.

There is a Yamaha spare that is still available but its no identical to your pic. It just fits the first part of the lever and doesn't have the angled part. I was unable to find anything other than the Yam bit when I was looking.
The ribber bit pulls off and fits straight on Kawa choke levers.

This is the plastic bit on my z1a carbs. Note the arrow.

Yes, those carbs were removed and currently stored in a box.

I'm going to order the Yamaha part, it seems to be as near as I'm going to get for now, unless I strike very lucky on eBay or at an autojumble, when they exist again. Unicorn poo seems easier to find. Ar least it shows I tried, thanks Warren.

That arrow is as clear as mud anyway - on my Z1A quadrant there is a arrow and 'ON' to make things clearer.
