Casar66 Posted July 13, 2022 Report Share Posted July 13, 2022 I am sick of the poor quality of the choke cables. They are expensive and lousy. I have found that in the www: https://www.trgb.co.uk/products/tr6-cp-twin-to-single-choke-cable-conversion Any experiences with that? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EGCD Posted July 14, 2022 Report Share Posted July 14, 2022 I have the Fred Millturn conversion, and it works a treat. https://fredmillturnparts.com/upgrades-and-conversion-kits/ The TRGB one looks identical, it may of course be supplied by him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Casar66 Posted July 14, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2022 Thank you. I have just ordered one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cp25616 Posted July 14, 2022 Report Share Posted July 14, 2022 Sorry not for me, yet another unnecessary complication. Twin cable for me all day long but not repro's though. Originals are out there. Alan G Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Casar66 Posted July 14, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2022 Well, I have tried to get NOS. But did not get any. I bought 3 replicas - all **** and expensive. Then even the replicas were out of stock for years and I repaired one by myself. That cable lastet longer than any of the replicas. So I will try this conversion kit. But - if you can get me an NOS I am interested. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ernest Posted July 14, 2022 Report Share Posted July 14, 2022 I would try the TR Shop in London - they always seem to have what is often unobtainable elsewhere - and I have found them to be nice people to deal with. Ernest Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TRTOM2498PI Posted July 14, 2022 Report Share Posted July 14, 2022 (edited) If you give someone like Speedograph a template of the original choke cable, they will make you up a robust item. Edited July 14, 2022 by TRTOM2498PI Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mrehke Posted July 14, 2022 Report Share Posted July 14, 2022 Fred Millturn supplies TR GB, but if you look at both websites and compare TR GB do not load the prices from their supplier. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Casar66 Posted July 14, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2022 I have contacted Fred. Waiting on reply. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
michaelfinnis Posted July 14, 2022 Report Share Posted July 14, 2022 Speedy cables will repair original cables. I had an original that had to he wrong length cables ( for carbs, not PI), and they reworked it to the correct spec for me.Much better than poor quality reproductions.

Casar66 Posted July 14, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2022 I have only replicas, not worth to spend any more penny on it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
harlequin Posted July 14, 2022 Report Share Posted July 14, 2022 (edited) With a bit of care it is a simple enough job to repair the cables oneself. I picked up 2 cables (inner and outer) from the local bike shop for £5. As an aside the kit Martin aka Fred Millturn supplies looks to be really good quality, I haven't got one but a few friends have and are pleased with with it.

Casar66 Posted July 14, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2022 I did it the same way. But the knob and the part for regulation and locking is from the replica-scrap. So it make no sense for me to repair it again that way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
