Thank you. When I removed the choke cables to remove the carbs, the springs held the cable stop in the hole of the lever, so that's how I put it back.
When I first put things back together, I didn't use the choke springs and the idle was everywhere, putting the springs in, made the car purr, I was impressed. Maybe I'm not anymore, if it means the carbs are dirty, or worn.
I only drove the car about 1,500 - 2,000 miles last year and plan the same for this year, because I drive about 40,000 miles a year for work, and I'm confident my back wouldn't last that many miles in the Healey!
