On my V50iii the lever is on the left cylinder head. It is mounted in a 'P' clip which is secured under the bottom inlet manifold bolt. I presume that this is the original fitment.

Exactly the same as on the big blocks then, from the same era. The choke lever is twin-pull and two short cables then go to the carbs. Routing them can be a s0d.

The (I presume original) cables on my V50 were too short meaning the adjusters had to be screwed right down otherwise the chokes didn't close properly. I made new ones out of nylon lined cable from Venhill and that gave a lovely smooth operation.

It's difficult to get the left hand one fitted clear of the cylinder finning.

One of my V50/3s had the `P` clip fitted to the top of the left inlet manifold and I found this a lot more user friendly (these days it`s a flexibility thing with my body) as the cables seemed easier to route especially the shorter one.
