Can someone with some knowledge give me a hand. I have had issues with my machine running terribly for some time. Last time i took it out it was running very rich. I took the carb out and got the dealership to rebuild it with a rebuild kit. My only questions now is I noticed the i can only pull my choke knob out maybe 1/4 at best. Since i have the carb off if i look at the plunger side when i pull the knob out this 1/4 i don't see the plunger move at all. From how i understands his fuel enricher works should there not be some movement in this plunger. As you can see in the pic below its pretty tight right up to the spring and that's with the plunger not he dash pressed all the way in (No Choke). I don't see anywhere to adjust this choke so is the cable bad. I figured i better check since the machine is already apart and would take minutes to change out this cable instead of re installing and ripping down again.

Yes it needs adjusted. Here's how
CHOKE (ENRICHER) ADJUSTMENT With the choke control pushed in, the choke plunger must be seated on the fuel passage way in the carburetor. If the plunger is not seated on the fuel passage way inside the carburetor (not enough cable freeplay), the engine willflood or run too rich, causing plug fouling and poor performance. If cable slack is excessive, the choke fuel passage will not open far enough, which may cause cold starting difficulty. Also, the half-choke position used for intermittent applications will not function properly. 1. Locate the boot behind the choke knob and pull it back. Loosen the friction nut 1 turn or until choke slides freely. Re-install boot. 2. Push the choke knob in to the full off position. 3. Slide boots off in-line cable adjuster and loosen adjustment locknut. 4. Turn adjuster until the choke knob pulls out over 1/4″. 5. Push on the choke knob lightly while turning the adjuster the opposite way. 6. Turn the adjuster until the knob contacts the boot. 7. Tighten adjuster nut. 8. Slide boots back over cable adjuster sleeve until they touch at the middle point of the adjuster. 9. Pull back the choke knob boot and tighten the friction nut until the choke will maintain a set position. Re-install boot
