Soldering should not be an issue with a new wound cable. However, on a used
cable, that may have some grease on it that will inhibit soldering, clean
first with a strong solvent (I use lacquer thinner), then use silver solder.
I find the flux that comes in a silver solder kit works much better with a
cable that is slightly contaminated. I learned this working on older
English bikes that have a lot of control cables and are usually pretty oily!
Cheers, Mirek

There may be special tools available that prevent the cable wires from
unwinding after cutting, but I've found it very difficult to solder the cut
ends successfully. It's best to thread the new cable entirely through all
the necessary holes before cutting it, but I've never had a problem with a
too-long cable fouling where I couldn't re-position it to avoid fouling
without cutting it.

Subject: [Healeys] Choke question
I have just reinstalled the carburetors on my BJ7 after replacing the jet
assemblies on both. I purchased new scuttle to carburetor choke lines. Which
installed fairly easily. Only problem is that both are considerably longer
than they need to be. That didn't present a problem for the rear carb but
the choke wire on the front was hitting the horn and this interfered with
the operation of the choke. I tried to cut the wire and it just unraveled
and became unusable. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to shorten the
wire before or after it is installed.
