#1 Choke lever mechanism: series 2 FHC

Post by skodajag » Tue Mar 22, 2022 1:19 pm

The choke lever on my car is missing the mechanism which holds it in the on positions. Can anyone direct me to an exploded view of the lever mechanism so I can see what's missing?
Thank you.

Hi Jonathan,

I'm not sure if you found that diagram to be helpful or not as it shows S1 and 2 mechanisms and is unclear about separation. I've marked up the diagram with some info.

I took some aid memoir pictures of my mechanism whilst working on its restoration. I hope these may help some.

Here is a page from the S3 parts manual. I have a S2 and a S3. the controls are the same. The only difference is the S2 has a single cable to the carbs and the S3 has two cables (one to each side). I hope this helps.
