Default carb help

my bike ran good then just starting dying out one day...took the air box off but really dont want to take the carbs off. but the problem is the choke is super hard to pull to fully engaged and then wont go back to fully off unless i use a screw driver to push it fully off..any help would be great i think im going to pull the carbs right now

You may just have a siezed choke cable. That can be pulled off without taking off the carbs. you may be able to just get away with replacing the choke cable. I would take off the airbox and choke cable, see if the cable is siezed, and check if the choke slide moves easily. If it doesn't, you may be able to clean and lube it on the bike a bit so it functions better.

Good luck!

That line should go to a vacuum port on the #1 cylinder intake port on the head. It's a little brass fitting. If you don't put that on, #1 will run rich and the bike will idle and run like crap.
