Is that a honda cb350?

mine arrived today. looks fantastic! thanks for keeping the rest of us in mind while you made these. will install tomorrow. great work!

Ok neither one budges. I will soak in kroil and see what happens. So when the choke slide is pushed in and out, it should be moving both of these? That would explain a lot of carb issues we've been having.
