Default Choke problem 89 Mercury 20 HP

Just the carb for our 1989 Mercury 20 HP carb cleaned with ultra sound and replaced gaskets. When we went to install it the choke was pulled out and we can't get it back in. Is there anyone with any advice? Anything would be appreciated. Serial # 0B387781 if needed. Thanks!

The problem is you missed the grove on the primer knob with the peg on the primer arm, pull it back out and hold the primer arm all the way down and reinstall the knob.
