MG Midget and Sprite Technical - adjust SU carb choke

1971 MG midget 1275 with su carbs.
How do you adjust the chokes. I choke on the front carb just does open maybe a 1/4 inch when the choke cable is pulled. The back choke opens about an inch or more when the cable is pulled. Also when I releases the cable it is very stiff (I have to push it in). The chokes close but seem reluctant to do so.
Also any suggestions on how to make the cable (its new) smother.
