If it won't come out...try lubing it first. If that fails, adjust the black plastic nut just to the point where you can pull the **** out and it stays out. Warning though, the plastic nut will break rather easily.

hey, this may help, check to see that the cable did not melt where it runs close to the cylinder . If that did not happen take the carb off the manifold and un-screw the black nut. it may have gotten "gummed up" with varnish.
P.S. I would not lube the choke cable as it works on friction and if you do get it freed-up it will never hold position again. I hope this helps!!!!!

Any chance the **** is already out and needs to be pushed in?

I am not trying to be a wise ***. My buddy has done this before. He also forgets to turn his gas on all the time. I think everyone has done that at one time or another though.
