Stubborn Choke

["Richard Cady" <rcady@verizon.net>]

Has anyone had the problem of a choke that is almost impossible to
engage via the choke cable ?

 

I just installed a new cable, and sprayed WD-40 on the linkage. I don't
have a problem engaging the choke manually directly at the linkage - but
seem to be loosing any mechanical advantage via the cable.  No - the
cable is not in the locked position.

 

Thanks for any wisdom or ideas,
