The cable for the manual choke is clearly in place on the right (passenger) side of the carb. Pulling the choke cable knob out closes the choke, pushing it in opens the choke. You should adjust the cable so the choke is fully open when the knob is pushed all the way in.

The condenser shown was probably put there for radio static suppression, although I'm not familiar with one in that position. It has nothing to do with your manual choke.

Sorry, Tubman - beat me to it.
