Choke Issue

Hey guys....i recently pulled the carb off and fixed my seconday linkage as it was stuck. I put the carb back on and now i have an issue with the choke. The choke will pull out and stay out...and even pull itself back in when the car gets warm....but it does not not hold the thottle down anymore like it used to. What could be causing this??

Also, i totally forgot to take pictures of where each cable goes onto the carb. The previous owner must of taken some out because i only have 3 cables...the choke, hot start, and throttle going to the carb. Could someone please post a pic of the cables or where i could find pictures of this. Thanks

From Canada!!

82 FB with a 12a. I have had it for about 2 1/2 years, best car I ever had.
Previous owner removed some emissions, and i removed the nest, airpump , AC.
Not too sure if all my cables are in the right place. I know the throttle is in the right place, but maybe not in the right hole. Not too sure about the hot start either.
