Here's another question for the forum. Now that I have the engine running well, the manual choke on my 283 sticks. I removed the choke wire and lubricated it. When the choke wire is detached from the carb, it works well and slide in the sleeve easily. When I re-attach the cable to the carb, it still sticks. My neighbor and I isolated the source of the sticking to when the Idle set screw engages the small cam that operates the butterfly valve of the choke. When the idle set screw is removed completely, the choke works well with no sticking. As soon as the idle set screw is engaged, the choke fails to operate smoothly.
Appreciate any thoughts you all may have.
