Hi - I'm trying to determine whether I need a new choke cable or if this is something that can be adjusted/repaired.
I was adjusting my choke after reinstalling my carb and when I pushed the choke rod in, something gave. Looking behind the mount point, I see that the shaft on the choke cable disconnected. I can still close the choke by reaching in and holding the shaft while pushing the rod in.
I can't tell if the shaft is supposed to be permanently affixed. If so, maybe I can use JB Weld or jury rig a clamp to hold the shaft in place until I purchase a new one. If it's supposed to be removable/adjustable, how do I get it to stay in place -- there don't seem to be any threads or compression fittings. Likewise, I can't seem to figure out how to remove the knob -- it turns but doesn't screw off and tugging on it doesn't pop it off. Maybe I'm not pulling hard enough?
Thanks!
