Hello, my name is Hunter and I am a 16-year-old who just received a 2001 4-wheeler from my grandparents It's a sportsman 500. We recently cleaned the car and cleaned the gas tank. My dad and I got it running last night but we realized that the choke wasn't staying out we diagnosed the problem to be a broken pipe behind the accelerator housing. In conclusion, I was wondering if anyone knows where I could buy a replacement for the pipe. In the picture shown above its the gold-looking pipe.

I meant carb instead of car.

The pipe is not replaceable - I have never seen that pipe broken on any of the hundreds of carburetors that I have rebuilt and it has nothing to do with the mechanical operation of the by pass starter valve. You will need to replace the carb or repair the pipe by soldering.
