Re: Questions: random stuff.

The choke cable, when working properly, requires very little pull. Try removing the entire choke cable assembly, soaking it in a dish of degreaser, like Simple Green, followed by a good rinse and then a good soaking in some 30 weight, in a small pan, tray or dish. After this process, put one end of the cable in the choke cable clamp on your carb and work the pull knob back and forth several times.

For a good lubricant on moving parts, I use dielectric grease. It is clear, almost like a gel and stays where you put it. Also, a good lithium grease or 3-in-1 oil is a good lubricator for choke and heater cables.
