So my choke cable on my Mikuni HS42 is missing the little clip that holds the cable out. Has anybody just replaced this clip and do you remember what it was called and maybe a size? I hate to buy a new cable for the cost of a spring clip.

 

Well since there were no responses I guess once again I'm the only one with this problem. I did recall that I had an old 40mm Mikuni up in the attic so I climbed up there and sure enough it used the same choke cable as the HS42 and the little spring clip was still there. I popped it off and it snapped right into the cable and works great! It's just a piece of spring steel sort of shaped like an unfinished D. Between a P and a D. The straight part is what slides into the groove of the shaft. So if you have some thin music wire you could easily make one.
