Default enrichener cable sticking

2002FLHT, TC88

The enrichener cable has been getting harder and harder to pull out this season. It is getting to the point where I feel like I'm going to break the **** off soon. Unscrewing the plastic nut behind the **** has no effect.
Any tips before I pull the carb for a closer look?
