Re: choke rod
Easier to install the choke rod and rod from governor arm to carburetor if you remove the carburetor from the manifold. Drop the carburetor just enough for the bolts to clear the manifold and tip the top of the carburetor out a bit.
I have an excuse. CRS.

Re: choke rod
MUCH EASIER!
I now use hitch pins instead of cotter pins, too. You can more easily insert or remove them with a pair of needle nose or duck bill pliers and don't have to try to bend or unbend them. At most any hardware store.

Re: choke rod
I see you have a home-made or modified gas line. If you are having interference with it, maybe the gas line needs bending. I've seen a lot of badly bent gas lines but rarely a choke rod that needed any more than a slight tweaking. By the way, I also see you have an in-line gas filter. They are more often a source of trouble than a cure for trouble.

Re: choke rod
Hi,
I guess someone changed it to the long dip stick and tube. 4 27 Z is a casting code. The engine serial number location is shown here, in a page from the Cub owner's manual. It is partly behind the Touch Control tubes.
Below is a picture of the position of the choke arm when the choke is fully open. The arm turns on the shaft if you loosen the screw, if necessary. Tighten the screw tight, they sometimes come loose and then the arm turns on the shaft, and the choke is not closed when you pull the rod.

Re: choke rod
Got it connected last night, had to rotate the choke arm and of course I took the carb off to do it easier.
I do not have a serial number on the engine. I have read all the posts and look in the manual but there is nothing there just a casting date.

Re: choke rod
The numbers are right behind the oil fill, probably be harder to clean on yours with the longer oil fill. I just took these 2 pictures on the one I am working on now. They aren't big numbers like the others. Yours are probably just covered in thick paint.
