There may be special tools available that prevent the cable wires from
unwinding after cutting, but I've found it very difficult to solder the cut
ends successfully.  It's best to thread the new cable entirely through all
the necessary holes before cutting it, but I've never had a problem with a
too-long cable fouling where I couldn't re-position it to avoid fouling
without cutting it.

Subject: [Healeys] Choke question

 

I have just reinstalled the carburetors on my BJ7 after replacing the jet
assemblies on both. I purchased new scuttle to carburetor choke lines. Which
installed fairly easily. Only problem is that both are considerably longer
than they need to be. That didn't present a problem for the rear carb but
the choke wire on the front was hitting the horn and this interfered with
the operation of the choke.  I tried to cut the wire and it just unraveled
and became unusable. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to shorten the
wire before or after it is installed.
