Re: $900

On to the carburetor.. It ran ok in the summertime but now that its cold i had to hold the carb at 2/3 choke to keep it running. Even when the engine warmed up. There was no choke cable, so i decided this would be a good time to install one. $8 later its time for more work. At the carb end, half the bracket was there, i just had to make a clamp to hold the cable housing, simple enough. I used some 1/8 steel and bent it around 3 nails in a vice to give it the right shape. As ghetto as that sounds, it worked perfect the first time.

Then I searched the forum for pics of where the choke cable is supposed to go on the dash, and couldnt find any. One guy said it goes in the top right corner of the cluster area, but mine has a windshield wiper switch there. I gave up, and drilled a hole in a piece of aluminum thats gonna serve as my temporary bezel until i decide where to make a nice one.
