OK........still working this damned choke bug. I replaced the choke cable with a new OEM cable this afternoon. While it did idle lower than before with some up and down in Rpms, it started with no choke applied and the spring return on the choke lever was as strong as ever. After 8 minutes or so it stalled out and wouldnt start. Emmediately pulled the plug and it wasn't "wet" but it was black and sooty. Zero smoke from the exhaust while it was running though.
2nd point.......I examined the small spring in the left hand grip housing. It would appear to be there to ride against the bottom of the choke lever {the internal "C" shaped end of the choke lever} and provide some tension countering the plunger spring's return. It doesn't seem to be making contact as in o0r out the return on the lever is the same. I even tried a small bearing on top of the spring, giving it extra reach to contact the choke lever. Still no effect on the return of the lever by itself to the off position.
