#1 Choke, cable

Where does the choke cable go through the firewall on a LHD? It's not mentioned on bulkhead layout diagram, my guess would be in the circle, but the it twists the cable quite a bit

Hi Mikael

That is the correct hole for the choke cable and it gives a very straight run from lever to choke on carbs. I suspect that you may have installed the choke lever on the left of the centre panel, rather than the right

If you can't make it work, make it complicated!

Hhmm, no, the choke lever mechanism is one of the few things the seller didn't take apart, I only oiled and replaced cable. It's smooth enough, so I'll leave it
