I have the 4-1 D on one bike, OEM 4-4 on another bike, DIY 4-4 on another. All carbs the same, all run the same. Lately did a choke cable mod that changed that whole world, not that it was intolerable before.
Starting with the current Motion Pro with the three, almost non-existent, stamped in notches and approx. 2mm ball. I filed those notches .5mm deep and the same dia. as the ball with a round tapered needle file. The cable now STAYS in place. First notch barely raises engine, third notch is just right for starting.
I CAN FEEL THE THREE CHOKE POSITIONS AND THE CABLE STAYS WHERE I PUT IT
