choke cable routing ?

[arriva1]

Stag has had 2 previous owners and nearly unused in last 20 yrs when I got it.
In the history file shows at least x2 choke cables had been replaced ?
When Stag was in a garage for some paint work touch up found choke cable jammed inn and the cable was broke from the knob bar assembly ?
Nether knew why this had happened but replaced with new from Rimmers and re-routed it as with previous one.
Now about 8 wks later found it jammed again so inspected and could see that the cable had managed to tuck itself under manifold and burn outer cable and jamming inner cable.
This I now believe may have happened with previous.
Just looked at a friends MK1 Stag and can see his choke cable is routed in the top hole from engine bulkhead to inside of car whereas mine is blanked off ( looks like original Triumph ) and uses the bottom one ????

Where is or should be the correct route for this cable ?

Hi Trev,

No idea if it's correct, but that is exactly where my choke cables pass through the firewall. Mine had no grommet, just passed through a hole about ten times too big, until about 4 o'clock yesterday when I Magivered a larger grommet to fit. Inside the footwell they also pass way too close to the heater water pipes, slightly foul the heater floor vent, wedge parts of the wiring loom into awkward places and have no corresponding hole in the carpet floor mat so they make that flop down. Yesterday I cut the carpet and zip tied various cables together which tidied things up no end.

1972, MK 1 stag, still with its original engine so no reason to suggest that it left the factory any other way and mine has never jammed. Hope this helps.

Simon.
