Sounds like a new wiring harness is in order.


As for the choke control, like the throttle control, there was originally a tapered brown rubber grommet in the dash that the rods passed through. I was a snug fit and served the purpose of holding the rod in place in the desired position when in use. Those special grommets are available from Dennis Carpenter and no doubt other vendors as well. Originally the grommets were not split but were installed on the rods when they were assembled. The reproductions are either split or you will have to split them on one side in order to install them (as judging from your photo both of them require replacement).
