Default Choke help!!!
Hey so I have an 04 super glide and I'm having a choke issue... Got on to ride today and pulled my choke out to start the cold bike but the choke would not stay open it just kept shooting back in like it had a rubberband on it or something. Any ideas???

Check the nut behind the plate. Warning do not over tighten as it will crack the plastic.

I had the same problem last week and did as wescoot2 and rounder advised: I tightened the hex nut 17 mm (5/8 is to small, 11/16 is a little to large but will do) (see my database for more metric sizes) and it's OK now...
