No, the MGB choke cable sheath is also firmly attached at the dashboard =
end.
The only difference is at the carb end =E2=80=94 is the end of the =
sheath anchored to the moving lever, or is the end of the cable attached =
to the moving lever? The other will be fixed. It works the same either =
way.
It=E2=80=99s like a scissors =E2=80=94 if you hold one handle still, =
moving the other handle opens and closes it =E2=80=94 it doesn't matter =
which one you hold.
