I checked the cable to the original and they were identical. I finally got the cable and choke installed, hope it is close enough to right to work . It cranked and the choke worked idled up when I pulled the choke knob idled down when pushed in. Got to get started on the clutch housing to replace the clutch adjusting bolt. Seems like one step forward and two steps back. Thanks for the replies.
Check your spark plug wire. It may not be getting good contact to your spark plug boot. Snip just a little off the end to expose fresh wire.
You can also test the spark plug boot. Make sure it is working properly. Always start with easy and cheap then work to most expensive. The manual will help you a lot.
