Choke cable replacement?!

One problem I've noticed with my bike is that the choke didn't appear to do anything (the choke cable seemed like it was severed, as I could pull the knob out until the cable itself was showing, and keep pulling . . .). I ordered a new cable (even has a new knob! ) and started to remove the old cable.

That's when I discovered that the old cable was actually intact, just not actually connected to anything.

I downloaded the DOAC manual, and it's woefully scant on details on where the choke cable actually connects. As I've mentioned in other threads, I've got nearly no experience with this stuff (although each new thing I try is adding to my knowledge ).

I do have the new cable threaded through the frame and the knob is installed as it should be.

Does anyone have any clear pictures of where this cable is supposed to go?

I do have the full airbox, and that is definitely making working in that area highly frustrating (large hands). Is this something I need to remove before proceeding?
