Choke

So the choke mechanism is frozen solid on the carby; time to investigate.

First, a boring reference shot to show the original position of the choke mechanism...

Now down to business.

Cover screws came out, but she no budge. A couple of very light taps with the "gentle persuader" and voila!

IMAG0077 Rusted Choke

Ooookay... so *that* is why the choke was frozen solid! The spring backing plate just crumbled away such was the rust.

Time to source a replacement choke mechanism.
