Carb choke cable issue-help! Recently started up my BJ8 after several months in idle. I found that the cable to the rear carb was sticking, and was able to release the primary cable from the dash at the "body" (Moss part 125) and lube the carb choke cables. Good news, each carb cable works fine. Bad news, I cannot get the primary cable back into the little block (Moss 128) . The set screw damaged the 1/16 cable so that a few of the fibers in the cable are "off", and cannot get into the block. If you feel the cable, it is what in the Navy we called "Fish hooks" in much bigger cables. So I just got a new Primary Carb choke cable from Moss. That was NOT without looking at what it would require to put it in. Looks like very difficult access.
So here is my dilemma, I can keep trying to get the old cable to work (suggestions?), or I can try and pull the old cable out of the old sheath, and push in the new cable ( sizes appear to be the same). What I can't see is what is the locking mechanism for the individual carb choke cables to that little block (again Moss 128) . Seems as if taking out the old cable from the old sheath and trying to put in the new cable from the new sheath might be risky.
