I'm stumped, I've consulted the Haynes manual and the Factory manual and neither show how the choke cable is to be installed. It must be considered too obvious to mention.
I never disconnected it at the bar and the carb connection seems straight forward but I have about 3 inches of unsheathed cable, so it's totally ineffective if the ends of the sheath can't seat into anything, that curved tube is on the carb but it ends well short of that even when adjusted to the max.
I got this bike is a rebuild project and it hasn't run in 25 years it is possible the incorrect choke cable was added later by the PO and is too long. The only he way could've operated it is if he reached under the tank and pulled on the choke rod. I looked at parts schematic and my cable looks different than the schematic but online schematics are often blurry and hard to make out. maybe I lost a part on the disassembly?
