Default Cv Conversion

Here is a pic of my cv carb set up. Have a questions re: the choke cable set up. I have seen what I think is the correct cable but I am not for sure. I dont understand how the cable gets connected to the carb. Can anyone shed some light on this? How did you mount the choke cable? I think my carb is a 1996.

Thanks
T-Ron

I don't know anything about that carb, but I don't see where choke lever is. Looks to me like it is probably on the other side of the carb. I see what looks like a link from the throttle connecting to the accel pump but that's all I can tell from looking at that pic. And I could be totally wrong.

Yep that's the wrong pic the hole where I think the choke goes is on the other side. My bad I will get the other side.

Thanks

Yes you are correct, you are just missing that plastic nut, spring and plunger. Plunger might be in that hole but I can't see it.
In plunger there is place for cable or lever, when you pull plunger out enricher is engaged.
If you are missing that plunger carb will not operate correctly.
