Good Fortune!

nah, dont wanna stalk the poor guy lol. im leaving for work in a little bit, i can wait for a reply, or i didnt mean to be rude, if anyone has an answer id love to hear it..

Ahh yes, the Achilles heel of the TK-22.

I've been mulling over ideas on how to make solid choke plates with no flaps. Some people have just epoxied over the opening to seal it. You just have to play with the choke lever as you try to start it.

Others have actually made new flaps out of sheet steel, but it has to e strong, and seems awfully tedious.

I am trying to design a one-piece choke plate that can be stamped out of a single sheet of stainless, then folded, then spot welded. That single piece would replace the entire choke plate, and would essentially be a 100% manual choke. You put it on full choke to start, but lift it off as you start. Then you set ti to about 90% for a few minutes to idle, then 3/4 to drive slowly to warm up the motor.

But I haven't had time to mess with some stainless yet, and I don't have a spot welder. I also need to make a jig for forming the bends.

Thanks, but that means yes to the first question, no and then no.. lol.. Unfortunately, that prob means i have another day or 2 then it gets much less use. Dont have a garage, work nights, think thats it for warmer temps, going into the 40's at night now.
Keep us updated on those fabbed choke plates!
