On ALL but the MKII Sprites, the choke was a straight shot from the dash 
to the carb. It was close to the steering wheel.
On the Bugeye, the "S" (starter) cable was on the right side and was a 
straight shot to the solenoid.
But for some unknown reason, the MKII Sprite have the choke and starter 
cables reversed. So they are not only on the WRONG side of the dash, 
they have to criss cross under the bonnet.
This makes then harder to pull and quicker to wear out.
I can not explain it, maybe some MKII owners can.
Or is this another one of those mistakes like the upside down air 
clearners in Horler's book?
