Follow the cable back to the right side of the bike and you will see where it connects to the inside of the choke lever just under the toolbox. There is a metal retaining cap (red arrow) that needs to be pulled clear of the lever assembly in order to allow the cable to be removed from the lever.

Once the metal cap is clear the cable can slide out of the choke knob in the same manner as the brass plunger on the carb end. Now that both ends are free you can replace the old cable with a new one. As you remove the old cable, note where it passes through the frame so that the new one can follow the same route. Make sure to lubricate the new cable before installing it. Thread the new cable through the metal cap, and attach it to the choke lever assembly by pushing the nipple into the slot.

On the carb end, thread the 90 degree bend, followed by the adjuster, and finally the spring. You'll need to compress the spring with your fingernails so you can attach the brass plunger.
