No, I just replaced my choke cable, and am having trouble getting the
footprints out of my dash. It turned out there was a kink in the cable
which made it very stiff. The new one operates as you would expect
(allowing you to keep one foot on the brake, and one on the gas...)
Check the stiffness of the cable when it is disconnected from the choke
mechanism. There should be >no< noticeable resistance.
