thanks dave saved my old body from more pending over pain.The choke cable is easy. Just unscrew it from the carb and take it out slowly. Then remove the needle and spring. Unscrew the knob end at the dash and you should be good from there.
The carb cable is a bit harder but not a big deal once you know how it's done. Rather than trying to explain it, see the video below. Cable removal starts at about the 5:30 mark.
