- I replaced the original choke cables, including the block on the firewall that holds them in place. The new block has a hole for the cables to go through and enough for the cable ends with the lead e

- That is the original intent and the springs would be strong enough to pull the chokes off. However, I have seen the blocks drilled and tapped and screws used to hold the cables in place so pushing t

- Hi Alan, If JB Weld works correctly, the cables will be impossible to ever remove. Set screws would be much better. Dave Russell Bn2

- Hi Jorge and All, I tried the ballpoint-pen-spring trick (see attached photo) but that still wasn't enough to pull the chokes off and get retrieve the cables. What worked for me was to drill and tap

- Jorge, It sounds like you have no cable clamp on your new block. These are available from scooterworks.com. They have a hexhead screw which bears on the choke cable as it passes thru the bottom of th

- The method I use on my car is the addition of springs to pull the cables back. I attached springs to the cotter keys at the carb end of the cables and secured them to a suitable location on the chass
