Hi, bought a new 28mm Keihin carb and I dont know what the nipple on the left of the choke is for, Im guessing its for a oil feed and I need to block it off.

It is disappointing that the scooter dealers who sell these Keihin copy carbs do not give clear and precise instructions that this feed must not be left as it is, otherwise your carb will suck in air through it.

The disappointing part is that its a genuine Keihin carb and It comes with zero instructions, I have had Koso PWK copy carbs that came with instructions.
