Firstly, thanks to Sammyb for the heads up on these Carb mounts. I got them last week from Anthony Rhodes, tore down the top part of the engine, sanded, de-greased, and painted the engine bay, since I was in there anyway, and installed the new mounts for my 7. The old ones had certainly used up their life span.
I repaired my choke cable, (duct tape and WD40) and now works perfectly, and set up the carbs again with the new mounts. Took the beast out for a good run yesterday, about 40 Km, and I don't remember it running better. The Aluminum mounts have really made the idle a lot closer to where I want it, and they look great too.
Here is a couple shots before and after the engine bay clean-up.

And the best part is it is supposed to be sunny all week.
