Hi,
I also noticed the bent mounting bolts
Spend a little more time and rig a micro servo to the choke. After 6 months of messing around actuating it by hand on mine, I saw a throttle servo failure on a gasser. Problem was, the pilot relied on the throttle to shut the thing off.
I then realized I need a back-up to stop the motor, and a choke that is servo driven gives you the best of both worlds
Enjoy
