Choke cable turnion

[Rob Glasgow]

Years ago I lost the small fitting (trunion I think it's called) that attaches the choke cable to the choke lever on my BT7. I have used a small screw, nut and 2 flat washers to clamp the cable to the lever since then. See the attached photo. I would like to find the correct replacement item but haven't found them listed in the normal suppliers. I did find two possibilities supplied by Burlen in a recent post about carb float bowls but am not sure either of these are correct. Anyone out there with a BT7 know if one of the two photos I've attached is what I need and is there a US source for them?

The one in the 3rd pic looks the most familiar to me, used in a multitude of applications (including heater and vent cables) and I can't positively say it's what was on your BT7, but I wouldn't hesitate to use one as the substitute.

Looking at the ones on my BN6 - the center one is for the heater because its hole is in the center of the sheet-metal lever; the right side is for the HD6 choke with a solid lever.

According to Moss, a 2-carb BT7 should have parts 678-618, photos are here: https://mossmotors.smugmug.com/MossMotors/Moss-300000-thru-399999/ Note: there are numerous photos in numerical order and they take a long time to load.

John, I can't find a reference to 678-618 in the on line Moss Catalog. I'm I missing something?

See 'Twin Carb Engine Controls, BN4, BN6, BN7, BT7' page. Page 41 in my latest Moss catalog #AHY-121

The right-hand picture above appears to be #378-648, item 106 on that page.

Maybe you meant 378-618 or 378-648

That's what I get for typing just before bedtime after a couple of glasses of vino. 378-618 is correct. Sorry.

378-618 is the multipart upper trunion that grips the cable housing (upper left box #100) 378-648 is the one that resembles the picture above (lower right #106).
