A universal will not work. The choke is actually a electrical/magnetic choke. Right behind the dash and integrated in to the choke, there is a box the holds the electrical/magnetic part. There is a sensor on the back of the water pump housing the heats up and releases the choke.
You could convert to manual I guess.

If you pull apart the choke mechanism in the dash you will see the cable is bolted to a metal plate. You might be able to drill out the bolts to remove the old cable. Then you would have to thread in the new cable and find a way to secure it with very small set screws or tack weld it.
However, it's a lot easier to check eBay for a replacement. That's where I got mine, although I don't see any offered for sale right now.
