John,
You should see a small hole in the bottom side of the
knob. Take a punch or something like it & push the
pin inward whilst pulling the knob off the cable.
As far as those little stops go...not sure why they're
there, but you certainly don't want the choke stopping
it's travel before those little stops get to the outer
cable. I'd get the little clips that hold the choke
cable to the carb body as close to the metal end as
possible. You can trim off excess cable if you need
to.
My 2 cents,
Todd Bermudez
