    i took my carbs off AGAIN, now i have them back on went to hook the cables back up and low and behold it seems my choke cable shrunk- what the hell, i put it back on and it seems the cable itself is too short, it keeps the throttle open way to far with no choke on, any help would be great, by the way it appears the linkage is done right.

    Just throwing this out there... Are you sure you got the choke and throttle cables hooked up to the right spots on the carbs, i.e not reversed?

    What happened when you tried to start it up like that? Could you start it?


    I'm just wondering if that is what I did.
