Default choke set up on 2100 carb

i am in need of a little help with making sure i have the choke portion of my carb put back together correctly.

I took a few pictures before taking the carb apart so i had something to compare to but apparently they werent good enough.

I have it all put back together the way it appears to be in the pictures but its all limp, when you push on the gas peddle it doesnt do anything either.

Is this that i dont really have it together right? or is this more so i need to adjust the choke cap to put lean it out some more and have more tension on the spring thats under the cap?

I can get the car started relatively easy but its cold blooded and i gotta start it about 4 times to get it to finally start and stay running.

any help would be greatly appreciated !

Is that little plastic nut screwed down enough on the choke side. The nut that holds on the choke arm?

you have to adjust the choke like it's mentioned in the manual someone posted.
You can give it a quick check in turning theblack choke canister clockwise. the choke butetrfly should close when you do that. Do it engine off and tap the throttle occasionally between turns to release the arm.
If after half turn it still doesn't fully close I'd say you don't have the spring inside not hooked correctly to the black cylinder housing or the linkage itself is not hooked up
