Choke cable

Post by ani »

Just noticed the choke cable doesn't locate in the housing - perhaps the wong one has been fitted. Do you see this as a problem? Choices are get a new one that fits or take off the metal end on the existing one - what do you experts thing?<br>Image<br>

Looks like it should fit in. It's common with these cables to miss the seating and have them perched on the edge like that (done it a few time on my bike :roll: ) Taking the metal end off shouldn't cause a problem - it's only there as a finisher to keep the plastic sheath tidy.
Older and more confused than I could ever imagine possible.

Yep - best fitted in if you can - otherwise the cable is going to wear - but not for a while ! would be much more worrying if it was the accelerator cable - since you don't seem to need to use your choke - it should last for ever!
