<p>With that choke arrangement the inner stays still and the outer
is pushed up the inner as the dash control is pulled. That lifts
the lever on the interconnecting shaft which turns the cams on
each carb to engage fast idle and push the jets down.</p>
<p>To set the cable pull the dash control out about half an inch,
slacken the screw holding the inner, then pull the free end of the
inner up until the fast idle cams just touch the fast idle screws
and tighten the clamp screw.</p>
<p>Pulling the chock control further should them lower the jets, and
pushing it home should raise them.</p>
<p>This does need the clamps on the interconnecting shaft and the
fast idle screws to be adjusted correctly so both carbs do the
same thing at the same time in terms of enrichment and fast idle.
