Is this a stock gold choke knob for a Midnight Special? I think the carb body should be black. Maybe it's a cabinet knob? (From an eBay listing)

If it is a cabinet knob, is it threaded somehow here? Look at the difference in the carb body. Early/late carbs?

It is a cabinet knob, I have done this before, just take an 8-32 die and cut some threads on the choke shaft.

Carb body SHOULD be black, top cover SHOULD be gold, not chromed. I think I still have a set in the garage, I'll have to look and post a picture later today.Ray Matteis

Changing to a knob is kinda cool. Only limited to your imagination.Comment

Midnight Special carbs on eBay. Looks like he used those new brass tees for the fuel inputs. I just hope he didn't use the jets from the K&L kit. They are junk compared to the stock Mikuni parts.
