Fast idle / Choke


I bought a locking choke cable from ebay for £13 which I have installed to operate the fast idle since it is manual on the K1 engine.  I removed the immobilizer light and expanded the hole to 12mm and installed the choke.  I added a large aluminum washer to spread the load on the fiberglass a bit better.

The cable is routed through the tunnel and around the side of the engine.  I have tried to keep the radius of the bends as large as possible as with 4 bends to get to the engine the cable starts to bite a bit.

The pull cable works fine but is a bit still.  This shouldn’t be a problem because as soon as it is released it springs back to its original position.
