Re: crap plastic choke nut thing
Just tighten the nut under the rubber cover behind the knob (fnarr,fnarr) to the required tension. 30 second freebie fix!!!!!

Easy fix to that mate.
Pull the rubber grommet behind the choke knob off and you will see a knurled nut. Just tighten it up a bit and it pinches down the choke and adds friction
