Re: choke linkage problem? (or "i am an idiot")
One thing I have done if I bent something and needed to unbend it
(especially something like a linkage) is to use a vice-grip. Clamping it on
the bend usually straightens it out. I know you have further issues than
this, but you might want to keep this trick in your pocket...
