Since I've chopped the frame hoop off a GP, how can I operate the choke on a SH2/22 carburettor? Is there a choke lever that fits onto the carb, or are there any other suggestions?

Many thanks

DellOrto phbl have a cable operated or flip up choke,maybe the flip up version will fit on a sh2/22.

I used a flip up one years ago- don't know where I got it but it worked just fine.

Rimini Lambretta will be able to supply you with a purpose designed Dellorto 'twist' top mechanism that fits straight to the existing choke thread of the standard carb. I use one on my Vega's standard 20mm as I didn't have the correct Vega type 20mm body (I later bought one + a NOS alloy flip choke from Nigel Cox, which broke the VERY FIRST time I used it!).

I understand that this Dellorto part may have been standard choke fitment for a different or older carb model but is perfect for use on any SIII carb.

Thumb choke setup ?

Not sure that this example is the correct size so certainly don't buy one from this link, at least not without confirming it fits first (!), but I wanted to show you a photo of what you're looking for...

I considered a thumb choke but would prefer to reduce the number of cables. I'm thinking about mounting the traditional choke lever somewhere else but a flip up lever would be best - how do you what fits?!!
