Missing butterfly valve for 25hp yamaha choke

[jon545]

I am looking into buying a 25hp yamaha outboard motor from the early 90s. it runs great but is missing the butterfly valve for the choke. it can still run without the valve, is it something that needs to be replaced? and if so are these pieces hard to find?

Some of these motors do not use a choke flapper.----Likely nothing is missing.----Model # of this motor ?

Not completely sure honestly. But say hypothetically this was missing a butterfly valve... would it have any long term effects?

Model # ????---------Choke would only be used to START the motor.----Once motor is running choke plate there or not does not matter !!

Does it have a primer valve? Is all i can think of model, hp and year are required here?

On ebay enter 695-14301-02-00 it shows a 1995 carb with a choke.
