[Mgs] choke not working

[David Councill]

A quick check on my 64B indicates my knob comes out just slightly over 
1" so that might be one thing. Also, when the knob is pushed in, the 
cable above the brass lever should not have any freeplay so you get full 
travel when you do pull out the cable. The pictures indicate correct 
cabling but also verify the cable end is not slipping on that carb choke 
bracket connection  when you pull the knob out.

Now off to test the thermostat replacement on my 67BGT...
