Better not call them a "stealer" if they're going to fix it for free....

That choke **** is cheap, easy to break. I broke mine the second month, didn't bother taking it back to the dealer, replaced it with a radio volume **** no kiddn' , how does it look?
They don't sell the choke **** by itself, you have to get it with the cable, that's why I keep the cable and put a replacement ****, less work.

I had that problem also. It's the only thing I've managed to get a dealer to actually honor the warranty on. Believe it or not, they do have to replace the entire cable. You would think they would just make the **** available.

SportyPig, I think so. Do you know how much is the choke cable? only $13.xx, I think this is how they sell a re and re carb, replace cable for an hour labor.

Thanks for the feed back, must have been common for them to cover it. 123AUTO did you glue it on or what? Looks fine to me
