I can't find the knob for the choke, it's what you adjust the amount of choke with, the one for the cb650c is on the handle bars beside the plaace where you put the key.

Any oone know Where I can find one? I May also need the mechanical choek that is in the carbs

The choke knob is part of the choke cable according to the parts fiche.

You need to either buy a whole new cable (about $20) or you need to go to a bike junkyard and look for something there. Your local honda dealer should have the cable. Or they will order it for you. Or you can look for it online. www.bikebandit.com is probably a good place to look.

Jeez dude. Take the tank off that thing and clean it up a little bit :laughing:

I don't think that cable is the choke - usually the chok is on the front o the rack of carbs. (Though in this situation, could be the other way around) That may just be a piece of trash there waiting for you to clean it!!

I'd recommend getting the manual for your bike so you can identify the choke cable. If there is no cable on the bike, you know it's time to buy one ... :D

I only just got the bike (Had it for 1 week), haven't got the title signed, and I'm not going to do any thing to the bike untill it's signed.
