(lack of) Choke Mechanism

With the rest of the carby back together, the only thing left was to reinstall the choke mechanism in a locked-open position to ensure that the fast idle cam isn't engaged.

The choke butterflies were removed...



...and I inserted a short piece of AT hose in the choke linkage to remove any slop...



The added bonus of the addition of the small length of hose was when the linkage was tightened, it lightly crushed the rubber which in turn held the linkage in place and ensures the choke can't "close" and engage the fast-idle cam.
