<VV>Insufficient Choke travel

[N. Joseph Potts]

You don't bend rods to set the range of choke movement - you TURN the rod in
the sleeve coming up from the bottom of the engine that it (the rod) threads
into. Can't tell from your query whether the limitation to movement is in/on
the carb itself or set by movement of the aforementioned sleeve. Yes, the
bimetallic coil of the choke is accessed by removing the lower shroud.

OK have seemingly got the idle corrected on this 110/PG but have run into a
problem with the passenger side choke coil. Driver's side is fine.

On the passenger side there seems to be a problem with travel: I have a
choice between full closed cold and partly open hot or partly close cold
and full open hot (at the moment I have bent the rod to achieve the
latter). Has anyone run into this before ? If so what was the cause
(suspect I need to drop the lower shroud, just have not yet).
