I have to check on the choke cable for you. I told Monty that I would check on it and I have not gotten to it yet. Sorry.
Rebuilding the carb is easy. It is just a matter of following the directions, not losing any parts, and cleaning everything up by soaking it in carb cleaner, and replaing a few of the parts, and putting it back together.
The hard part is tuning it back to normal when you get it back together.

I can rebuild a carb but my schedule is anything but free. I'll see what I can do, but I can't promise anything. If possible, you could drop it off or something and I could rebuild it. It's not a few hour process or anything.

Carb cleaner == throttle body cleaner for all intents and purposes. There is a slight differance, but it is minor.
Soak the carb parts in carb cleaner for 24-48 hours to get all the little passages clean in the carb body, then blow them all out with compressed air to make sure they are completely clean.

i dont have any carb cleaner... um lol lookslike the wire brush is all i can use atm most of it is preped but i still would like to soak the parts in carb cleaner to be on the safe side .problem is i dont get payed this week lol how much does a can of carb cleaner go for anyways???
You actually need 2 different kinds. The soaking kind comes in what looks like a 1 gallon house paint can. They have it for less than $10. The spray stuff is about $2 or so. You should be able to do it with the brake cleaner you have for cleaning the heat shield and area where the carb mounts.
The soaking part is really needed to clean the carb parts though.

I know I am going. Phooka sid he might be there. I expect Randy and Matt to surprise us and show up. We will probably have plenty of people comming. I will send out a couple of emails later tonite.
Got jumped at Taco Bell/KFC on the corner of Warwick and Nettles about an hour ago. Some little punk came and sucked punched me. IT WAS ****** ON!
He got a few hits in, but I kicked him in the *****, then did the 'ol hockey move. Pulls his shirt over his head and upper cut as hard as I could right to the face. A couple of guys run out and stopped everything.
I'm ok, just severely pissed off. Have a swollen eye, and a sore jaw. I'm sure he's got blue ***** the hard way.
This is why I hate people who can't mind thier own buisness, usually of a different race.
All I can say is he's lucky those 2 guys came out. I woulda smashed his head right through the grill and radiator of his g/f's brand new car.

Update on the assaliant. My girl's mom was leaving Riverside where she works, and just happened to notice a dark Nissan Sentra in the parking lot with no front liscence plate. She drove around and there was the tag number I told her last night. She called the police and waited till I got there. No word yet, but I think they caught the bastard. I hope he was there because his ********* exploded after I kicked them.
