And a very good morning to you, too, even though it's afternoon here. Don't know the history on this posting, but it rings a few bells . . . . . . OK, the top butterfly valve on your carb (nearest the inlet manifold) is the throttle - the butterfly valve on the left of your carb as you look at it is the choke (I'm assuming TE/TO series here). The wire you mention is designed so that when you put the choke on then the sleeve alters the angle of the wire, which then opens the throttle a tad to give you more revs. Make sense so far? I don't think you need to do anything more than ensure that it's all working, no further adjustment is needed other than seeing it's loose. If all your linkage is in working order, try checking your oil bath air cleaner to ensure it has the right level of the right oil in it - too little oil or the wrong oil means you end up with a weak mixture and the **)^%$(*& won't start even if you remove the air inlet pipe and choke it manually (watch out doing this, if it pops back at you, it stings). Bought a TE that was tiresome to start and it turned out it was the air cleaner problem I mentioned - now it starts first turn, no problem. I also cleaned the carb till it shone, got nowhere. Let me know how it goes. Oh, I am of course working on the assumption that you've got nice big fat sparks on the plugs?? Good luck
