[Mgs] choke not working

[dave northrup]

The brass part does not move via the cable.  That is my problem.   I can manually move the brass part no problem.   But the cable does nothing when the 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 need to adjust the brass lever downwards to have a longer travel for the jets 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, more like flexing.  What am I missing?
