=> My '69 TR6 has the dual braided-type choke cable. My problem is that this
=> cable doesn't stay out when you pull it out; the return springs pull it
=> completely closed again. This means two hands to start the car, and you
=> only get 1 to drive while cold (other has to hold the choke open).
=>
=> My question: Do the solid-wire versions of this cable stay open? What do
=> the rest of you do? I can't see how to mod my braided wires since braided
=> wire won't function under compression (unlike the push-pull solid stuff).
Hi Ian,
I believe your problem may be that the return spring for the throttle
adjustment on the choke (one of the wires) may have been replaced by
a suspension spring (well, a spring that is far too stiff for what is
needed).
Ciao,
Peter K.
