It's a bit of a longshot, but does anyone know where I can get the very small ball bearing and spring that you find inside the choke lever? It pinged our during rebuild and I can't find it. Don't really want to but a new lever set!
 
Been there done that on my 1100s!! I never replaced mine, used to hold lever open for 30 seconds or so, never found I needed it once moving, you could try a spring from a retractable ballpoint pen and a visit to a couple of cycle shops for a ball.

A spring from a Zippo type lighter is the right diameter (needs cutting down to right length though). I ordered ball bearings from ebay but wrong diameter so gave up and now do as above!
