Hi again, Rich. Because the original chokes didn't
have an o-ring or gasket where the cables enter the
carb, I didn't think it necessary when I put the flip
chokes on my bike. They work great. So I think you can
confidently do the same.
Re: cleaning voltage regulator contacts with emory
paper: my didn't work when I put my Amob on the road,
so I sprayed contact cleaner on them. It fixed them
right away. I think this might be better then using
emory paper if you do not have a visible buildup on
the contacts, because it does not remove any metal.

I found that the "standard" flipper chokes do not fit
because the
bosses
on them are different from the cable-type chokes. So I
cut down the
bosses on the flipper chokes (these had an o-ring)
with a Dremel tool,
but I'm sure these modified assemblies aren't anything
near air tight.
But do they need to be air tight? There's a rubber
seal at the bottom
of the cylinder (for both style chokes) that must
close off the orifice
to the carb, so what purpose does the o-ring on the
boss serve (also,
the cable-style boss did not have an o-ring).
Anyone dealt with this?
