Fill in by-starter hole

Well my by starter is completely screwed It has no wires on it and it is busted all to * so I want to remove it and fill in the hole. So how do you think I should do it?

Buying a new one may be your safest...and ultimately cheapest....alternative.

if you fill in the hole just how is it going to run while its warming up? think id find a new or used one. or you could get a manual choke like bear has.

My manual choke system only works on the Aero 80 (1983 thru 1985) and a couple of earlier model scooters that had the heat control vacuum bystarter. Oh and bystarter is one word, not two.

Well I filled both ends in. Haven't tested it yet because I am too lazy to put the air box back together and bolt the carb back on.

Runs perfect without the Bystarter on there and isn't all that hard to start(5 kicks)

The bottom end I drove a nail into it a bit then cut it off flush with my scroll saw and the top part were the by starter goes I put the needle in and filled the hole with rtv silicone gasket maker(Both holes could be unplugged if I ever wanted to buy a new bystarter)

Well nice job, you have RUINED the carb because now another bystarter will not work on it.
