Regarding a 69 TR6 (CC28754L):

Recent purchase of car sitting up for about 20 years.  I have renewed the 
hydraulics and brakes, given it a tune up, timed it, replaced the vacuum 
lines, etc.  Runs great until it gets good and warm and then becomes rather 
rough and begins to smoke, but not too heavily.  I have not dug into the 
carbs yet. Any obvious first suggestions on what to check?

What is the mechanism of the Choke Cable lock.  I can't seem to see where 
the locking action occurs.  I presume its in the pull cable at the dash, 
but I can't really see anything obvious.  Is there a way to adjust it?  It 
locks all the way out, but I can't get it to stay put and about 1/3 to 1/2 
out (i.e. just enough for high idle).
