I doubt they can post copyrighted marterial on this site.
But you may find someone willing to break the law via email. ;)  
They could just scan the pages and send them via email. I dunno how non legal that is.

All you have to find is someone with the book.  ;)
and a scanner  ;)
and email them.

Btw- I am selling cheap gucci socks for $100.00
if your interested in cheap gucci socks email me. THe socks are slightly worn and have been sitting on my scanner for about a month.

ok, this is a (crappy) picture of the choke slider mechanism that's attached to the carbs:

On the left side, you can see the hole that the nipple on the choke cable fits into:

The nipple sits in the hole and the cable is routed through the cutout.

Does that help?

yes it does, but does the cable sit in the catch at the other end of the slide?

Here's a pic from the Haynes manual, it should make it clear:

On the inboard side of the carb (right-side of left carb).

are you referring to the top T?

No, it's on the actual body itself.  It's a spigot, like the ones on the floatbowls, sticks out, pointing to the right, almost where the carb meets the carb boot (the forward boot; downstream).
