Check to be sure it is just the cable and not the choke itslef or the linkage. That cable housing is famous for getting stuff down in it and freezing (literally in cold weather). If so, I would just disconnect it for now, and start it by using the primer until I could replace the cable or clean it.

If that is the origional choke cable on the quad, there is an updated cable available. Moisture would get into the choke cable under the rubber boot where the choke **** pulls out of. The moisture will rust the cable and also promote oxidation build up within the bore of the starter valve (choke plunger). The carb does not have a choke plate. The choke works off the principle of a small piston connected to the choke cable that when pulled opens a port in the carb to add fuel for start-up. When moisture works it's way down the cable and oxidizes the bore of this piston (plunger), it feeezes in the bore and normally when removed, is scored and will not slip back into it's bore in the carb.
I suggest that the cable be updated and the new starter valve kit be installed after the bore of the carb, for it's placement, is cleaned with a gun bore brush or rolled up emery cloth.
This should cure future choke cable issues

the cable is broke at the plastic piece on the handlebars and i know i have got to replace it but if i want to see if the cable is stuck in the carb can i take the cable loose from the carb while still attached to the motor and see if it was froze there and clean it out with some carb cleaner are do i have to take the carb off completely to check this.It looks like i have enough room to remove the cable and check it out

yep take off tank
it makes it alot easier i just replaced one on a friends, it makes it easier to thread the choke needle back in the hole on the carb. actually you dont really need to take it off to route the cable. i just loosened the bolts holding the tank and was able to get my hand under the back part of the tank to thread the cable back on the carb. be careful threading it it is plastic and will strip( this is hardest part i think) you need to feel the whole cable to thread it back in. i tried without taking the tank off and it doesnt work.
