1 "Choke" lever inactive. Fri Aug 23, 2013 8:36 pm

It's time to approach the gurus again.
On my supposedly 91 LT, when I put the "choke" lever onto position 1 or 2 to start the bike, nothing happens
with the throttle screw on the rail. I can see that the gizmo behind the TPS is pulling up but it is not contacting the throttle rail at all and the idle screw just sits flat on the stopper. If I slip a small screwdriver under the idle screw I get instant start (well, almost) and as I have been trying to adjust the idle (via the manual) this is causing headaches.
I would like to know where to start looking. Here is what I know.
The choke lever moves, stays on position 1, and it lifts the cable end down behind the TPS. I have tried adjusting that but it doesn't seem to have enough adjustment to make the idle screw move at all.
I suspect P O has done a bodgy job on the idle screw setting so everything will be out of whack.
Should I take the TPS off to get better access and work on that end?. I should say that when warm the engine
ticks over at 1,000 rpm so I don't really want to adjust the idle much from there.
