Hey everyone....

So I'm having the same problem Grego had. My bike sat for a long time and now the choke lever won't budge at all.

I took the handlebar housing apart and took the lever off of the cable, and the cable definitely is stuck. I poured penetrating oil on the cable part hoping it will go down the tube, but it hasn't improved anything as of yet.

Here's my (bigger) problem.... I removed my gas tank so that I could remove the starter plunger 14mm nut off the carb, but the nut is completely stuck on there. As much as I try, it won't budge, even after putting oil on the nut as well. And the more I tried to force it, the more the carb moved and made me afraid that the carb would dislodge from the engine.

So, any suggestions on how I can get that nut off so that I can fix or replace that cable?

Thanks all!
