ronhatch Posted November 17, 2021 Report Share Posted November 17, 2021 Hi All, I have got to constantly adjust the choke cable outer sleeve as it always slips through the cable retaining clamp (aue55 in the rimmer book), has anyone got a solution to this problem ?

boxofbits Posted November 17, 2021 Report Share Posted November 17, 2021 Hi Ron You could pin-punch in several spots the inner faces of the sleeve if you can get at them to create a dimpled surface, or take out the pinch bolt, bend the clamp faces inwards, then reclamp, or both. I wonder if your choke/ jet mechanism is too tight to move at the carburettor? Is the choke stiff to operate? Kevin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ronhatch Posted November 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2021 Hi Kevin,thanks for the reply, I decided to take it all apart rather than a*se about and try a quick fix of just trying to tighten the pinch bolt. On the bench I could see the ends were bent about a bit but I noticed at the front side was a slight bend in the metal (obvious now I actually looked at it properly ) which would reduce the hole to allow just the inner cable through. Blowlamp , a bit of bending, jobs a goodun. Regards Ron Quote Link to post Share on other sites
