I saw nothing move when I first pushed the pedal down.

Pushing the accelerator pedal to the floor SLOWLY when the engine is cold, frees up the choke activation spring to allow the butterfly to close.

Ok, so i'm right about what the choke is, and that the green thing is in a vacuum line

Now, how is the pedal going to the floor (once) supposed to close the choke? I can move things but I don't know what should move together, what
should move the lever that moves the choke flapper?

I'm not having luck looking at images online for what moves what plates.

And finally, there's supposed to be a tiny gas filter in the carb, looks like a small gold microphone.

how do i get to/change that?

thanks
kelly
