The brass part does not move via the cable.  That is my problem.   I can ma=
nually move the brass part no problem.   But the cable does nothing when th=
e knob is pulled out although the knob comes out 3/4"

The important part to look at is the motion of the jets. When you pull out =
the choke, that brass lever will move up and the jets will lower. You may n=
eed to adjust the brass lever downwards to have a longer travel for the jet=
s to go lower. Also, both jets should move downwards identically - if not, =
you may have to adjust the brackets that connect to the carb cam fast idle =
pieces.

When I pull the choke out you can see the lower part move just a little, mo=
