Choke pin won't stay
I got a question
On my 98 SH the choke pin used to stick all the way out and stay there, about 3 weeks ago, but now the choke doesnt stay open enough and I have to hold it about half way open. When I let go it slides slightly in and the engine flutters.
Also last night Iw as letting it warm up, and it reached the 1/4 way mark and wasnt ready yet, and i ending up taking off when it reached half temp.
Is this bad or can I tighten the choke somehow?
Also, how can I check for a bad CCT?

The rubber right behind the choke **** pulls off to reveal the adjuster for the tension to prevent just that.

Mine used to be sticky as hell. Sometimes it was hard to tell if it was operating correctly because of it. I removed the entire cable assembly and lubed it all very well. Too well. Now it wont stay out! Tightening that adjuster did little or nothing for me. It is about as tight as I feel safe turning it right now. I'll just have to hold it out I guess.

There is such a thing as too much lube.

Unfortunately there isn't one. When they go bad it happens all at once, just like a timing belt on a car it will be fine right up until it breaks and damages the engine. Thus like a timing belt, you replace it before it goes bad.
