Looks like 2stroke maniac has probably got the necessary experience on this one.

At the top of item 6, the power valve servo motor, under the tank. Just follow the cables up from the side of the barrels.

Just want to make sure you are aware of the free online parts manual.
Click here and drill down to your specific Model --> SubAssembly.
Choke cable connects to the top of the right hand carby, well I'm not 100% sure that is true for MC16?
In the free online parts manual, see "1987": --> microfiche "Carburettor E14" - part 24, and microfiche "Control Cable F3" - part 3.
If your problem does end up being a faulty MC16 CDI, then you will want to have a read of this thread on how to repair them.
Also, I can't help but think that the problem here could just be a build up of crap in the carby float bowls, resulting in blocked jets?
Simply cleaning out the carbies could be the fix?
Also check that your tank is not rusty inside. If it is then an inline filter in the fuel line from tank to carbies is highly recommended. A filter costs about as much as a Big Mac.
