Choke Cable Adjustment
With the choke knob pushed in, verify the choke linkage is
not engaged at the carburetor. Pull the choke knob out and
verify there is 3/16" cable freeplay before the choke
linkage engages.
Free play adjustment is made by loosening the choke
cable bracket at the carburetor and moving the cable
barrel up or down in the bracket.
IMPORTANT: Do not adjust the cable barrel higher
than flush with the bottom of the choke cable bracket.
After adjusting choke cable, pull choke knob out to full
choke position. Verify knob does not pull out of cable. If
knob pulls out of cable, decrease choke cable free play.
Choke Cable Replacement
The choke cable is replaced as an assembly.
1. With the engine off, place the vehicle in neutral and
apply the parking brake.
2. Remove the cable end from the carburetor.
3. Remove the retaining screws and pull the choke
assembly out at the dash.
4. Raise the vehicle and support it with jack stands in
order to access the underside.
IMPORTANT: It is important for reassembly to
document location of cable ties and routing prior to
removal.
5. Pull the cable out from under the dash and the
underside of the vehicle.
6. Route the new cable from front-to-back, through the
retainers at the bottom of the frame, following the
routing noted during disassembly. Place cable ties at
the appropriate locations.
IMPORTANT: Do not allow cable to hang below
vehicle frame.
7. Reinstall the choke assembly into the dash. Hand-
tighten fasteners sufficiently, using care not to over-
tighten.
8. Reinstall the choke cable onto the carburetor.
9. Adjust cable to desired freeplay.
If smooth choke operation is not obtainable, inspect for
kinks, sharp bends in the routing or a linkage obstruction.
