340 enticer carb

trying to remove the choke cable on my 78 enticer 340 wondering if its supposed to just pull out of the carb or what it will only go half choke

That should have the B38-34 Mikuni butterfly in it. The starter plunger should simply pull out of the socket once the cable holder is unscrewed from the carb housing. If it sticks it is likely corroded up. This is a common cause of the starter (what you call choke) not working properly.

any suggs on how to un-freeze it been letting it soak in wd-40 or should i just dig it out

Drop some Sea-Foam in there. It is likely oxidation that has it stuck. Once the threaded holder is loose, just yank the whole cable housing a bit. Not too hard, but firmly. Be ready to catch the plunger and spring in case they come off the cable end.

Personally, if that plunger was seized in there, I'd be taking that carb OFF for a good cleaning before attempting to rely on it this winter. I hope thats what you're doing! Good luck. G.
