I recently did this on a set of choke/throttle cables that I
am using to control the fresh air vents on my 57 GMC 102.
1. Mark the outer sheath where you want to cut it.
2. Cut the very tip off of the inner wire if it is distorted in any way.
3. Pull the choke handle out a foot.
4. Apply heavy side cutters or a hack saw the outer sheath
where you marked it in step 1.
5. Push the choke handle back in and cut the inner wire to
the proper length.

Subject: [oletrucks] Shortening choke cable
What's the best way to shorten a choke cable? The PO of my truck put on a
new choke cable and it's about a foot too long. Any way to cut it
off......and still have the center wire sticking through long enough to
fasten to the carb? Thanks for the help.
