    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

New choke cable beyond stiff... why?

I have a new choke cable that just arrived from Z1. I know I need to lube it, but when I tried to work the cable back and forth, I found it way beyond stiff. It's stuck pretty good, and the slide tension nut is not tightened at all.

Suggestions? Should it be stiff? How stiff? I can't move it with both arms. Seems odd. There was a second piece of insulation attached to the cable sleeve with what looks like a heat-weld. I pulled it loose trying to get the cable to move, but the cable sleeve doesn't look crushed or crimped.
 
Figured it out... with a pair of 90 degree hook needle-nose pliars. Got it back out.

The choke cable has a shaft at the top where the friction is adjustable - the shaft is round with a flat on one side. Turn it 1/4 turn, and it won't fit in. Turn it back and it will. I managed to cram it in the wrong way. Oops.
