[Healeys] Fw: Choke return springs

[Dick Matson]

My Bj8 choke cable once had curious drag also.

On closer inspection I found strands of the pull cable inside the shield was
frayed.  Frayed strands were sticking out between the end of the shield and
choke cable bracket mounted on the firewall - that's inside the car and where
it couldn't be seen.  I found it by removing the cable splitter block and the
firewall bracket.

Installed a new pull cable.

Chocks work fine now and return back as they should.

Dick / Bj8

Ed,
Thank you for the link to the tech articles.  The diagram showing the BJ
8 carbs with return spring does give me thoughts as to how I could do a
similar set up.  If I can't get rid of the "drag" in the cables as David
suggested, I'll definitely think about using some springs to help the
jet tubes return to their "non-choke" position.
Regards,
Dan
