    Blah Honda XR400 Carb - Choke Plate

    Hi everyone.
    I'm on my hand and knees begging for some help.
    Just brought a 2002 XR400 and the choke (On) shut off plate is missing, so starting it is a mission.
    Upon research the original one had the plate and a little stainless baffle, apparently these broke/fell off and got sucked into the motor.
    Apparently this is not good
    Does anyine have a XR's only version (Solid steel version) with 2 holes in it.
    I'm still open to the original one, but i have searched the country for a plate or old carb for sale, but can't find anything in NZ.

    Does anyone have a spare or old carb or any contacts.
    I would be over the moon and eternally greatful.
    Cheers Richard

    Um, isn't that like stupidly easy to make? Use loctite and decent screws.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    New Choke Plate

    Hi,
    Probably a dumb question, I have a 2002 XR400 and having to resort to making a new choke plate (Mine is completely missing.) What stops the plate when it's fully on, is it done by the choke lever positioning (Also missing at the moment, but a new one coming) or is it the choke plate touching the inside of the carb ?
    Cheers
