Hi,

I have just joined the forum I am also a member of www.ozatv.com "check itout" and am looking for some advice, just put on a k & n and in doing so the raptor now bellows smoke.
I noticed that the choke cable "what I think the starter cable is" is hanging out which i think is causing the smoke and backfiring, can i just remove this or does it need replacement, please help as i cannot seem to find this in my service manual..

any would would b gr8, cheers

well im no pro but if it were mine i would go to the dealer and make sure i wasnt missing any little pieces that go in there on the end of the choke cable and put it back together,,,,should run good then

common problem the nut pc. is plastic and does'nt take much to break on all"01 to 05's"like about $25 for a new starter set for carb you also could be running lean now with k&n on and open lid!makesure choke is not on with this being broke too

yep that sounds like it,

Can you get the plastic piece out if it is broken off ?

 

[mikes#04]

the plastic pc. is the nut only should be no problem to get off scince this is what breaks should be spring ,tube,cable,and button inside will have to take off thru tank frame and hanle bars for new one

I didn't have a problem getting mine out. The plastic threaded part was in the carb and the rest still on the cable. Think I used a pocket knife to get a bite into the plastic and unscrew it. The plastic piece and individual choke parts are available thru a dealer.
