I've been struggling with this for some time now and can't seem to get it
right.  Ever since I rebuilt the carbs, I can't get the choke set up so that
I can physically open it from inside the cockpit, have it return  to closed
without getting back under the hood, have the choke pull the jets down and
advance the fast idle, and not have any leaks, all at the same time. I can
do maybe any 2 or 3 at a time, but not all 4.  Am I asking for too much?

So far, I have replaced the choke cable, installed weaker springs, tried
different combinations of gaskets on the jet assemblies. But when everything
else seems to be set up right, I can't physically pull the cable far enough
out to do more than take up slack in the linkage.  A body building course
comes to mind, but I'm too old for that.  Anyone have any other ideas?

These are SU's of course.

TIA,
Bob
