948 CC engine with pull choke cable.
Am replacing a later model choke cable with original choke cable.
- Original choke cable is on far right of the dash - threads around
front of battery, through the bracket type holder on the carburetor to the
throttle pull held by the inner pull wire or the cable with a screw trunion.
All threaded together and mounted. Try to pull the cable knob and
it won't budge. Only if I pull up the throttle by hand, can I pull out the
cable on the dash. (two person job - my arms aren't that long).
Is there magic here. I had fastened the screw trunion when the pull
knob was in all the way and the throttle in the closed position. Do I need
to install it with the pull knob out with the throttle open? I don't know
what I am doing wrong and am frustrated. Every time I mess with the cable,
the end gets frayed and I end up snipping some of the precious length. Any
words of wisdom?
Cable does pull when it doesn't have a lot of resistence - so don't
really think it is a matter for oil - but maybe so?
