When re-building my carbs, I took a dremel to the connecting rod, to help ease the transition from each choke position. I'm hoping this will make using the choke a bit easier and prevent me from breaking that lever, if I ever happened to get a replacement.
Pm your address. Like I told Bill I don’t have the chrome handle, just the non-chrome one, and I’ll look to see if I have another. It’s the whole spring unit and handle if I do. I think I have a couple NOS rubber caps too for the handles. Somewhere! And dipsticks (I think).

Where shaft goes thru assembly where detent balls are located, a drop of oil solves the restricted movement of shaft past each detent ball/spring.

I followed an idea that BikerPhil gave me on this and removed the lever completely. I'll get a pic but I got a chrome kitchen cabinet nob that fits very well over the post that the lever pulls on. He helped me thread the post to the same threads of the knob. Used a little Gorilla Glue to make it stay well. Now I got a nice chrome pull and I think it looks better than the original. A lot better than paying lots of money for an exact replacement.
