My Bj8 choke cable once had curious drag also.
On closer inspection I found strands of the pull cable inside the shield was
frayed. Frayed strands were sticking out between the end of the shield and
choke cable bracket mounted on the firewall - that's inside the car and where
it couldn't be seen. I found it by removing the cable splitter block and the
firewall bracket.
Installed a new pull cable.
Chocks work fine now and return back as they should.

Subject: [Healeys] Choke return springs
Ed,
Thank you for the link to the tech articles. The diagram showing the BJ
8 carbs with return spring does give me thoughts as to how I could do a
similar set up. If I can't get rid of the "drag" in the cables as David
suggested, I'll definitely think about using some springs to help the
jet tubes return to their "non-choke" position.
Regards,
Dan
