Couldnt start the bike this morning.
Cables loose at the carb end.
Any advice for how it works? Is there a nipple at the other end I can just screw back on?

Cable snapped, just above the nipple.
Had a spare on the additional carb I bought a while back so just swapped them over.
The snap looks like it was due to corrosion in part, as the spring and back of the plunger had rust dust covering them.
Might be worth peeling back the rubber elbow and squirting in some ACF 50 for those with as yet unsnapped chokes!
Cable snapped by spring, replaced it with a spare from my other carb (love spares!)
Backed off the secondary carb opening by one turn while I had the tank off, see if that makes is smoother in traffic.
