I have an addition piece of information to add. The choke lever is actually quite tight. Even before I started taking the bike apart, I had noticed that the choke lever could not move all the way. This is not normal, isn't it? Do you think it has anything to do with why the choke cable is stuck inside the carb?
Additionally, there is a brass object behind the chamber that houses the throttle valve, which seems to lie on the same axis as the brass nut (and choke cable assembly). Do you think it is something I need to push or wiggle to get the choke cable out?

Except for the float and needle valve that's underneath, I have already disassembled and cleaned everything in the carb. Luckily, only one gasket and one other O-ring needed replacement, both of which I found in a K&L Carb Repair Kit that I have already bought.
The float is not yet done because the float needle is difficult to remove. I needa research to see if anyone had already talked about it here.
