[Healeys] 100 choke

[warthodson at aol.com]

I am getting conflicting information on the OE choke cable. Curtis, I interpreted your reply to be saying the original 100 choke cable incorporated a 1/4 turn friction lock mechanism. Is that correct or are you describing the same type of inherent friction Perry is describing? Gary Hodson

GaryShould have been more clear on my response. Our BN2 choke cable knob does not lock in the quarter turn position. Still works per the owners manual which says: Pull the choke knob to full pull, crank engine until it starts, then return the knob to half pull for rapid warming up. The choke must be fully released at the earliest moment possible.”  This is a solid wire inside a non lubricated cable sheath....lots of friction. No mention of the turning the knob to lock it. My recollection was that when braided choke cables started to be used that two things were added, a strong coke return spring at the carb linkage and a quarter turn lock to hold the selected position. PAs always I have wrong before

Did the OE 100 choke cable feature the 1/4 turn friction lock like on the BJ8's for example?If yes, do any of the suppliers sell a repro that includes a good quality lock with the correct knob or even better does anyone have a good used OE one for sale?
