Choke Flap

[Bigtee]

I noticed on my 9N that the choke plate has a "half moon" opening along with an opened slit at the bottom so when the choke is closed, air can still get by.
Recently a friend bought an new carb and the choke plate had a half moon shape that was closed off, but spring loaded to open and no slit on bottom. Is my choke plate broken, or is this a new design for the plate?

Sounds like you are missing the flap & spring that retains it.

Thanks, that is what I was afraid of (LOL)!!

You can get new choke plate complete, from the parts section of this site.

I pulled a intake manifold one time and found my spring in there :shock: :shock: Plate was still in place...
