I have a '99 Yamaha 115 (S115TLRX) While rebuilding the carbs, I lost a small stainless ball that locks the choke into the on/off positions. It fits into a hole in the side of the carb and has a spring behind it and it "locks" into holes on the choke mechanism to lock the choke in the on or off position. It works with the manual choke and comes in handy when cranking a cold motor with the breather off while making carb adjustments. No parts diagrams show this small ball. Any ideas?

measure the hole in the casting (the one where the spring sits, not the one in the choke lever). then buy a ball bearing that fits
