BK, I think you might have gotten ripped.. The reservior I replaced was on a 99 Magnum 500.
As for the choke lever "thumb control" I would assume you could have just bought it seperately, or robbed one from a trashed machine.
Either your dealer is more into gouging his customers while he smiles to their faces, or he's totally and completely not in "tune" with mechanical things.

 

My uncle told me to send out a thanks to everyone that contributed to this and thanks for the E-mails. We plan to replace it this weekend and do a few other minor replacements and he'll be back in business again.
