Re: Manual Choke Installation?

I've tried WD-40, penetrating fluid and grease but since there's two 90 degree bends in the cable I doubt anything will work to make it slide easier! I tried rerouting the cable but didn't find a better way to route it.

You can control the amount of choke with a manual choke, not possible with an automatic choke, unless your manual choke is not functioning properly, so apply graphite or lithium grease to the cable.
