May have to replace that little bastard! Mine did the same, so I replaced it and tore the old one apart just for giggles to find a kink in the choke cable.[:@]

NO, mine wouldnt budge. Tried spraying lubricant down the casing of the cable befor i tore it apart but it didnt help. I dont know how it got kinked but about halfway down the cable it had a pretty good kink.

it is not uncommon for cables to sieze, and the only real remedy is to replace it
