Hey Rich,

Some VHB29 carbs won't support the flips. Has something to do with the way
they were designed. I can't remember what it was though....something to do
with an o-ring?

There is a good reference in Guzziology on this subject. If someone can't
get the info to you I will dig out the book and quote that section.

Really...if the standard choke system works then it is just as good as the
flips. Certainly easier to flip the lever on the handle bar than moving your
hand from left to right side. No fun though if the cable is binding and
causing the choke (really mixture enricher) to close fully.

Regards...Ian

 I'd read somewhere that you can't put flip chokes on Ambos for some reason.

Are flip chokes better than the standard kind?

If so, how are they installed and are there specific kinds that are better
than others?
