4 Withdraw the choke cable assembly until the inner cable can be released from the hand control lever and the choke warning lamp lead unplugged.

5 Withdraw the cable assembly through the engine compartment rear bulkhead.

6 Fit the new cable by reversing the removal operations. Before tightening the inner cable pinch screw at the carburettor, hold the choke valve plate open and pull the control lever out 2.0 or 3.0 mm, then tighten the screw. This will provide just enough free movement to ensure that when the control is pushed fully in the choke valve plate will remain fully open even with engine movement slightly stretching the cable.
