Where does the choke cable go?
Place the choke control cable under the intake manifold from the front of engine (front pull choke).
What is choke cable?
A choke valve/cable is designed to restrict the flow of air in the carburettor of an engine. This helps enrich the fuel-air mixture, improving the ability to start an engine in low temperature conditions. Simply put, the choke is about making more fuel available for the engine to use.
How do you put a choke cable on a carburetor?
Insert the wire end into the hole on the choke lever then use a pair of needle-nose pliers to put two 90° bends in the wire on either side of the lever to hold it in place. Insert the cable sheath into the bracket on the carburetor then tighten the screw to hold it in place.
What happens if choke is left on?
Leaving the choke on for too long will cause unnecessary engine wear and waste fuel. The engine needs its fuel to be vaporised in order to burn it. This is done by the carburettor where the fuel is mixed with clean air coming from the air filter, and sent into the pistons to be ignited.
How long should you leave the choke on?
Usually 1-2 minutes. Your choke richens the mixture so the risk is fouling plug if you run too long.
How does a plunger style choke work?
The way they work is the choke plunger covers a passage in the carb body that when the plunger is raised it allows fuel to flow through the passage. When the choke is off the plunger seals up that passage. You must make sure you completely seal that passage in the body so fuel can not flow.
Is butterfly open or closed for choke?
When the choke butterfly is allowing the most air flow, without restriction, it is open. Like a door. Open lets things through. when the choke is restricting the flow of air, it is closed.
How long should the choke stay on?
At 5°-10°C (41°-50°F), the choke plate should be fully open in about ten minutes. Check for bent choke linkage and a defective thermostat cap. And ensure the fast idle cam (screw) is properly set. So checked it out today and the choke works perfectly well, so now I’m suspecting and idle circuit running to rich.
