The problem with my choke cable is that it is extremely stiff to pull
out. The linkages are very easy to "lift" by hand and the
bracket/heatshield is what the book says it should be. The cable itself
is not new but it is very easy to pull when not attached to the linkage
even if I twist it many times.
The cable sheath ends at the bracket and the cable itself continues
downwards and attaches to the choke linkage via trunnion & screw. There
appears not to be any restriction at all.
My 1973 car is LHD and has twin HIF4 carburettors. What could be the
problem? I am not sure the cable is going into the engine compartment
through the right grommet as there exist two of them: one to the right
of the large rubber plug for the master cylinders and another one behind
the brake pedal. It's through the latter one my choke cable passes.
Finally does it matter what "direction" the cable comes to the bracket
from? I mean is it important to make sure it comes from the rocker cover
(and not the air filters) to hit the bracket and go down to the linkage?
