Hello to everyone, I took my kitfox 6 over to my trusted rotax mechanic today to balance my carbs. I noticed a little rough idling and again on short final. We pulled the top engine cover off and behold my choke tube that threads into the top chamber of my left carb was popped out and not threaded in. This actually opened my choke some. This explains my rough idling. Now my question is , has anyone had this happen to them? I looked at CPS.com (california power systems) and I found the top chamber for $117 (part 961-250). The threads look like they are OK on the tube but look stripped on the chamber. My thoughts are order a new chamber and locktite that bad boy in. My father (retired farmer) wants to take the small tube to a machine shop and have a longer one made so the treads come through the bottom so we can put a nut (along with bailing wire and duct tape). Looking for another opinion. I would say this is not the best set up!

If anyone wants pictures I will get them!

Thank you like always,
Patrick
