As many people stated solder can be a problem because of residual oil. I
quickly weld the ends by attaching wires to the 12v battery terminal. I then
clamp one lead to the cable very near the end and then quickly touch it to
the other lead. It takes a little practice.

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.
