Monty: It looks like a modified spoke wrench. The other thing that would remedy the problem is if the choke cable didn't have that damn metal 90 deg elbow at the carb-end. If it was a flexible cable all the way to the attachment point at the carb, you could better rotate the carb, and easily get the best angle to attach / remove that choke cable for carb removal / installation. I'm surprised that the KLR cottage industry hasn't come up with a flexible alternative. Don R100, A6F
