Homelite 150 Choke Linkage Reinstall, help?

[Chainsaw Collectors]

Good afternoon all. This morning I went and took the engine of one of my Homelite 150s out of its case to replace the fuel line. I am having trouble reinstalling the choke linkage. The videos I watched couldn’t get a good angle to see this part. If someone could guide me through this and tell me how far the linkage is supposed to go in the hole I’d really appreciate it.

Here is how much of the linkage I can get in the choke lever hole. Not much. Enough?

Almost done installing the carb. It’s not tight though. The 2 mounting bolts or what I think is supposed to mount the carb are too small, they just shove right in. What am I missing? I have another 150 to compare. It seems to have bigger bolts, but I’m still confused.

Had to take a carb off of a saw that already ran, but was in poorer cosmetic condition. It also donated some other parts to this saw and the blue one. New starter rope. Here’s a picture showing just how great of condition this unit is in. Equipped with an original safe tip. I’ll buy a NOS heat shield. Runs/oils perfect. Appears to be low use even when looking at piston.

I had one given to me last week; been putting off working on it, been years since I worked on one of them..
