Choke for CT2 was created by AirborneSilva

Hey guys, is this the correct choke for my CT2, the carb is a Mikuni VM24.  As far as I can tell it's the correct one but just want to be sure:

Mikuni carb choke

On another note - PRO tip, do not, I repeat do not soak your carb with the plastic choke knob in lacquer thinner, it will not survive

Likewise, do not clean out your petrol tank with apple cider vinegar with the petrol tap attached...........!

Thank you Mark! 

Al, yeah I was pulling the carb parts out of the container I had them soaking in lacquer thinner and the knob just turned to goo!  Oh well, the carb is clean now
