I have the same problem on my Edelbrock; I have to use two hands to push
it in.
I suspect the problem is a kinked or twisted cable, or the cable clamp
on the carb is attached too hard. I haven't had a chance to look into
it; too busy driving it before I have to put it away for the winter,
which should be pretty soon given the weather in the northeast lately.

I've had my manual choke cable hooked up for probably a month or more
now and it has already become really sticky. It's easier (but not
exactly easy) to pull the choke on and much harder to push it to turn
it off. Today I resorted to opening the hood and shutting it off at
the carb. I have one of those "Help" (Motormite) cables. Are there
better ones out there? I plan to take this one off and lube it if
nothing else. Hopefully I can either get it to work more smoothly or
get a better one. It’s becoming more of an issue now that it’s getting
colder outside. Any recommendations?
Thanks,
