Choke cable for Tartan 30

Have discovered my choke cable is fused and appears to be beyond redemption. Looking for a new replacement, asking if anyone out there has information on correct length and source to purchase.

This is for a 1978 Tartan 30 with original factory atomic 4 engine.

Any info appreciated

If you remove the cable you will know the length. The cables come in various lengths and are cut by the installer (you) to length. You can also reroute to your needs as the factory install was probably done with a lot of stuff out of the way.
It's really an easy job. Just be sure it closes all the way for an easy start.
