Tight choke rods I have new choke/throttle cables the previous owner installed. They are very tight. Tight enough that one of the knobs was pulled off. I've removed the carb end and the carb parts operate fine. I have lubed both the solid ends of each cable pull. I had rubbed the cable with oil hoping some will ooze thru the cable. I halve checked for cable kinks. no help.

Re: Tight choke rods Rods or cables??? What year car?
Check you front motor mounts. Are they collapsed/worn? I recall replacing the front motor mounts on my '37 and when the installation was done, my throttle and choke knobs were sticking out about a half inch away from the face of the dash. I had to shorten the rods.... |
Re: Tight choke rods Mounts are new as well.
How does the cable sheath attach to the dash. I can't see it I thought I might try and remove the whole cable where I could work on it better. |
Re: Tight choke rods My '39 has rods, not cables. Maybe the PO replaced the rods with cables. My throttle rod is very loose. I would like to tighten it up so that when I pull it out, it stays out. The choke rod is OK

Re: Tight choke rods Get some CA glue (Cyanoacrylate) at local Hobby shop,( or Family Dollar Store,) much cheaper. put a drop iIN the knob and replace. It won't come off any more. Be careful and don't get the glue on any thing else including the outside of the knob.
