Always problems on disassembly. One of the three choke screws refused to come out and broke off and when I tried to push the trans detent throttle cable to one side the old hard plastic broke. A new detent cable is on order and will be in today.
I won’t go into the difficulty of installing the new detent cable, but I will say – don’t forget to remove the old gasket. Also when removing the old cable it isn’t necessary to hold out the trans link as it only fall back a little bit and the new cable can be attached easily. Finally I could find nothing in the service manual about how to replace or adjust the new cable. All my info came from UTube videos!
I drilled it out best I could and then use a tap to clear up the threads. Happily the threads are good enough to take a screw. I’ll be sure and use blue thread lock and take not tighten the screw too much – just enough and the thread lock will hold it in place.
Even more photos of the choke linkage.
