Might be worth a try at your FLAP in the help isle. Look for a "choke conversion kit" to give you either replacement parts for the automatic choke OR an actual mechanical arm to choke cable.
If it's not on the isle, could be worth a search through the parts books. I suggest a NAPA store might yield the part you need. Good luck, Grant...
