I have to set my choke back up after removing it , is there a tutorial or a video that walks you through the process? I searched the net and can't find anything and not being a mechanic it's a process for me.
Your help would be appreciated.

Video may be hard to find, it's not rocket science. With the choke knob all the way in, the carb choke butterfly will be fully opened. If your carb is equipped with a cold idle speed screw that may need a little adjustment.

Shop manuals usually go over that type of stuff.  Do you have a manual?

It's easy.  For a manual choke, place the choke plate in the wide open position (straight up and down).  make sure the choke cable is all the way in (at the dash).

Take the outer and inner cable at the engine end and place in the holder on the carb, making sure the inner cable goes into the little hole in the piece in the arm that operates the choke butterfly.  Making  sure that the inner cable is sticking out enough to fully close the choke butterfly without hitting the outer cable tighten the holder on the outer part..  There should be a screw in the piece on the arm that operates the butterfly (which is usually round), tighten the screw and you should be good to go.  Go inside and check operation.
