Good morning, purchased a big red like the one I had as a kid. Want to see if I can restore it, but I know very little about this subject. Here are my two first issues I need to tackle. Brake and choke cables. The left hand brake lever, which operates the rear brake, is so loose that when you engage it it's useless. I tried tightening the wing nut close to the brake assembly, but it does not fix the issue. How do I get the cable to keep constant pressure on the brake lever? Now to the choke. To my understanding, the choke lever should remain engaged until I slide it off. Mine won't stay engaged, it slides back to the right. What do I look for to find the cause. Thanks for all advice.
