I have just install two new Bing 54 Carbs. with new cable chokes. I know I 

put it in the garage for a panel and fuel tank upgrade, bungee cords,wiring 

and it seems the list goes on. I think I need to join upgrades anonymous.

       Now would someone tell me the proper way to adjust the cables on the 

new chokes? I don't want them to stand open or maybe not open at all when 

the choke is pulled.

       The springs in the new chokes are about twice as strong as the ones 

in the old chokes. Is this a upgrade in the chokes so they seal better? or 

should I use the old springs? I had to make a tool to compress the new 

springs so I could install the ends on the cable.



       Thanks for your input,

I adjusted mine so there was some play in the cable housing at the carb. In 

other words: I pulled the black boot at the carb end of the choke cable 

well up the cable. I installed the entire choke system. I then backed out 

the adjuster until there was about .03" vertical play in the cable housing 

at the carb. I then tightened the adjusting nut and checked the play again. 

I then pulled the boot down over the adjusting nut and tie wrapped the top 

and bottom of the boot so the cable housing couldn't pull up.

Thanks Guy, I will take care of making the adjustment this morning before I 

leave out. I also like the tie wrap thing to keep the cable from jumping 

out, I'll give that a try to.

Again, thanks for your input and info.
