Re. choke cable. If you're sure it's not a mechanical bind, WD40 on the cable wouldn't hurt it. I'd try it. Shouldn't hurt to spray some on the carb choke shaft also.
Thank you for the info. That’s funny my old 63’ had a 1967 250 also and it would diesel but went away when I raised the timing to 8• BTDC. I did sea foam in the gas ones as well and went away. I gotta try additive in the gas in this one too, maybe it’ll help
