Well, after months and months of waiting, the new choke cable for my 74 1/2 TR6
arrived today from TRF. A few questions
for the group:
1) Is there a way to remove the plastic control knob to install it? If I
can't, the only way to install the new choke
is to slip the nut and washer (used to secure the control to the back of the
dash) down the metal shaft and over the
cables and once both are off, feed the cables through the opening on the front
of the dash, then put the nut and washer
back on the shaft while it is in the car, but before feeding the cables through
the firewall and into the engine bay.
Maybe this is easier with the TRF replacement, but the one time I removed the
old choke cable via this manner, it took
forever to slip the nut over the end of the metal shaft because of the width of
the shaft at the end (Actually, I had to
rotate it as if I were unscrewing it). It seems it would be a lot easier to
just pop the control knob off and then feed
the metal shaft through the back of the dash.
2) Near the tail end of the two wires there are small metal "stoppers," for a
lack of a better name and description.
Am I correct in thinking that when I feed the wires through the choke lever on
the carbs, I should set it up so that the
metal stoppers "top out" against the plastic sheaving on the cables when the
carbs are set to full choke?
Thanks!
