Choke Cable Binding (1 Viewer)

[stonepa]

All,

I have a 87 FJ60 that I bought new. I am now going through manual choke cables. For some reason they twist / bind and the manual pull jams. Doesn't seem to matter if I do the installation or if I take it to the local mechanic. Any thoughts? This is getting annoying.

No one has this problem?

All I can think of is that your routing might be off, can you compare it to another rig?

 

[stonepa]

Wish I could. Haven't seen another one around here in complete condition. Any chance someone has some photos of the correct routing?

I have the same problem and need to get it resolved before winter.

You are installing a new oem cable right?

 

[Mildot]

Not to hijack but what's the best place to buy an oem cable? Also what's the price.?

Search for Cdan
Cruiser Dan at American Toyota Phone is 1-800-432-6668 ext. 8

 

[stonepa]

Yes - OEM always. It'll work for 6 months or so and then it slowly gets harder and harder to pull or push the knob.

Anyone have a price on oem from Dan?

Send him a a PM or just give him a call.

I have installed manual choke kits before and removed throttle cables, can a PITA but an average hobby/mechanic can do it. The housings get rusty inside or if the sheath is compromised , e.g. pinched or cut, it could be snagging the inner cable.
