Default 1987 Choke Cable Routing

Hi , I am putting my 1987 model back together after a bit of renovation and I can't remember the correct routing for the choke cable. I put it in front of the fork leg and then back through the gap between frame and tube by the headstock and then back and under the engine breather pipe? It seems to be bit short if I route it that way. Can anyone with an 87 let me know the correct way to fit it?

See if the following link is helpful - cable routing images from a repair manual - although it may not cover your year model, it's probably the same:

Thanks for the link. I tried routing it that way but to the other side because the choke connection is on the other side on the 87. But the cable is too short. Guess I will keep trying various routes.
