RV12 choke cables.
I have seen 4 sets of choke cables coming out of their adjuster housing up at the carb on RV12's. Since these are backing out they should be safety wired. I call it leashing, but you can call it whatever you would like. You attach the safety wire about 1" out from the adjusting nut. Then twist it and secure it again right up at the opening of the adjusting nut. Then twist is again and secure it around the adjusting nut itself. The pictures will do a better job of explaining. It will now never move. I usually do it to throttle cables too, but the RV12 has a solid mount throttle cable that is attached to the throttle cable adjuster.
Here are a few pics of the choke cables I saw just this morning.

The RV12 this morning had fuel pouring out the right carb vent. Found a sinking float and the fuel level to high so the float arms were adjusted. This threw off the carb sync so that was also performed. Purrs like a kitten now.
