The choke cable is connected to the exterior choke lever on the carb. From inside the cab it is extremely hard to pull the choke or release it. I usually just end up popping the hood and doing it with my hand. Any fixes?

What carb?
Do you have pics of the choke on the carb?

I'm pretty sure it's edelbrock 1405 600 cfm. I'll post pics soon.

Have had that set up on my truck over 8 years, bought new, have not had an issue with it.

Can you post a pic of the hook up at the carb? Also how long is the choke cable. I think mine may be too long. There are no sharp bends in it but it is looped a little bit. Thinking about the wd40 method and maybe shortening it a little so there's less bends.
