choke grommet

[ls6pilot]

Just got a 78 9.9 evinrude. The choke grommet appears to be missing. The choke lever can be pulled out but will not stay out. it springs back in. If i replace the choke knob grommet will that fix the problem. Any tricks to the replacement

You would need the choke knob detent, part number 0336395. Should not be that difficult to replace.

The detent is present but the metal tangs are not tight around the choke rod. Do i just need to pinch them in against the rod.

Yes that should work.
