Is there a way of shortening the inner choke cable ? just cant get it to open enough and having to resort back to a flip !!

Can you get a longer choke elbow on the carb to take up the slack???

Some will ,with a bit of tugging or filing pass thru the outer caps and then just make up a longer outer and re-fit.You can also be lucky sometime and heat the solder up and move the nipple end and resolder.

What you need is one of the knowspeed adjustable choke cables, you can PM him on here or look in the dealer innovations section

Contact Chiselspeed for a fully adjustable choke cable which will fit any carb and last for years.A quality product that takes a couple of minutes to fit,ive never seen the ones that bloke that calls himself knowledge (sorry cant remember his real name) does and im sure they are fine but the chisel ones are superb

Hi,
I do a non-adjustable version made to fit your combination of carb and location (TS1 side, or traditional side).
I did a batch of adjustable cables, but I couldn't get a regular supply of in-line adjusters to continue production.
If you want one made to order for £5 delivered, let me know.
