If can't find the 32PDSIT choke elements, the 34PICT ones are the same (or
so I am told).

That level operates the choke fast idle cam and the piston inside the choke
assembly (I don't know what that does). It has a thread on one end, and is
bent at about a 110ы angle, and at the other end it has a circlip. The
thread allows adjustment for the choke settings. Also check that you have
the spring behind the fast idle cam, that makes it spring back. The spring
on one of my carbs is missing, and at first gave me a really funny idle.
You could probably make some up if you can't find some, out of a piece
of rod, something the same diameter as the stock linkage rods.
