The choke cable on my truck would not pull out.The cable was routed through the wrong hole in the firewall and it was kinked. I cleaned and rerouted the cable it pulls freely now.

When i disconnected it from the carb the choke butterfly was tie wired in the opened position.
I cut the tie wire and hooked the choke cable to the carb. Wahla I can now use the choke to warm up the truck in the mornings.

The problem now is when I push the choke in the truck dies.For now I have to leave the choke pulled out a little to keep it running.
1 barrel rochester on a stock 230
Is there a fix for this.
