=E2=80=A6coming in late on this, I=E2=80=99ve found the best way (apart =
from a fine cut Dremel disc) is to grip the cable in a pair of sharp =
side cutters, put these on a hard surface and give the upper jaw a sharp =
tap with a hammer. In this way the cable end doesn=E2=80=99t fray.

What I should have mentioned in my post is that you cut through the =
cable - and the tape-  where the tape is wrapped around the cable .  =
That way the cable cannot unwind.

Thank you all for the input on cutting the choke cable.  The idea of =
using a fine cut off disk sounded like a great idea.  I had tried using =
my regular cut off tool but the cable just unwound.  Then I got an idea =
from one of your posts.  I am a retired dentist and I have the belt =
driven drill I used in dental school (never been in a mouth) and some =
very fine cut off disks.  Worked like a charm.  Cut through the cable =
and the cable housing guide 1,2,3. Reinstalled the rear choke cable with =
no problems.  Now just waiting to get another front choke cable and =
repeat the process.=20

Again, thank you all for your input and suggestions.
