I have an after market choke on my 77 Midget. Then end of the cable
is a bit chewed up and frayed. I decide to look at the end in the car
and see if I could replace just the cable. Well I pulled the cable
into the car a bit, and the frayed end was pulled back into the cable
jacket. I figured I would push the frayed end back out, but fraid
not, it would get stuck at the end of the cable jacket. The choke
handle end which is a twist to lock type, most likely from M*ss and has
the cable held in place by crushing the metal part that hold the
handle to the cable. This really does not look like I can just get a
new wire rope and attach it to both end. Any easy solutions or do I
need a cable splicer :-) If I have to replace the whole thing I will,
but it would be nice to just replace the cable. How do the stock
choke cables work? I really wish the cable was held with some type of
set screw.
