Thanks guys, I was going to go the ultrasonic route to begin with, but I heads don't put rubber in there- and I can't figure out how to get the dang choke assembly apart and out of the carb body and there's a rubber grommet on there. I can just about get the choke slide out but the lever won't pull out of the carb body.
Anyway, the parts diagram doesn't help either because it shows that entire assembly left in the carb.
Looks like I may have a stripped screw there on the end?

Great thread, I have had this one bookmarked and have been following it for quite some time.
Is there a thread about having a stator rebuilt by a company like Ricks? If there isn't that may be a good idea to share your experience with some of the newbs that may find it a little overwhelming.

Hey man thanks for following along!
About the stator, that's a great idea. I'll put a write up in the "approved vendor" section of the forum. It really was easy - yank it out, send it in, pay $175 and viola! The only bad thing I have to say is that they tried to sell me their R/R pretty hard, but they're a functioning business and I don't blame them.

Ok guys, tell me what you think of this adjustment. First time adjusting the clutch.
Teazer, followed your instructions you wrote in a different thread. Looks like I have about 2-3 mm slack in the clutch lever (the cable engages but the clutch doesn't lift yet) and it looks like the clutch stack lifts about 2 mm in total when the lever is pulled.
