I have changed inner choke cable and knob on my car without a problem. Just make sure the end of the new cable is not frayed in any way otherwise it can be difficult to slide it in without catching.

Ha! That's funny, Alan, different horses for different courses.
I use my choke/starter circuit every time I start the car from cold. I do it because it works flawlessly (don't touch the accelerator!) and I like to keep all the parts moving rather than doing nothing and potentially gumming up with our ethanol laced fuel.
Anyway, the Heath Robinson/Rube Goldberg mechanism appeals to me. It's too wonky to ignore!
