My choke is a PITA. I need to pull it with all the strength my aging hand and fingers can muster and still if I have a helper push the lever from inside the engine compartment it moves a bit more quite easily.
I've done all the stuff suggested for this condition, oiled the cable, rebuilt the carbs, polished the jets and followed the linkage diagram posted by the late Randall Young.
Next step seems to try a new cable. The one I have seems to be a replacement as it doesn't seem to have the stops of the original or if it does, they don't stop.
The question is which replacement cable? Moss and others list 2, a "replacement" and a "reproduction". What is the difference? I think one other supplier lists a twist lock cable too but my main interest is to get the chokes to operate fully and the locking or stops just a small bonus.
Any recommendations?
