[6pack] Stiff Choke Cable

[robert fabie]

Thanks to all who responded to my stiff choke cable question. Depressing
the gas pedal before pulling out the choke actually does help reduce the
tension; couldn't believe it. It's still not  a "smooth" operation and I
will continue to explore what other carb issues may be contributing to the
stiffness.
This list is an amazing resource of knowledge and experience. Thanks again
Alex & Janet, Dave, Dick and Robert Lang.
Best,
