Hey guys,
The electrical connector was broken off my Automatic Choke on the carby when I got it. Does anyone have one they would sell to me? Or a replacement carb? I have a 1967 Deluxe 1300
Cheers

Got a soldering iron? A little imagination?
Go on. Give it a go!
That's why we muck around with this stuff.

12v later ones may be the same size as 6 volt ones??

Thanks eveyone for your thoughts and advice..
as you probably know Its a metal connecter but fastened by what looks like copper studs..I tried doing a solder job but wouldnt stay-I believe you have to braze copper.
Thanks Smithy ill get back to you if i decide to go that path...

Hi
copper is good to solder but
I believe these are most probably brass..
and as its connected to the heater coil You may need a lot of heat??
looks easy to fix but?? apart from grinding off those rivets??
