ggzilla Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 Tana here on Ratsun has one for sale. For the stock 510 linkage, it uses a twin-cable choke. Link to comment
ggzilla Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 Here is a cable from 1600 Roadster. It is the later style with the ratchet. The older style is pull-out and twist half-turn type. note the twin cable ends, one goes to each Hitachi. Link to comment
wayno Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 All the roadster supply outfits sell differant length twin choke cables, I am sure they all have dealt with this app. before. Link to comment

Sorry i dont think i ever got a pic of it. I used a section of metal to connect both chokes. When i pull the handle both chokes open up. Link to comment

The older style is pull-out and twist half-turn type. note the twin cable ends, one goes to each Hitachi. Whichever set you get take this advice. Twist the end wires of the flex tightly together. Dip them in flux and lightly tin them with solder, wet them, don't make a big blob. The cable will then easily slip into the carb mount, accept the retaining screw, and be replaceable / removable forever without unraveling like the one on the left in the above photo. Link to comment

Good advice, I can't beleave they don't sell them that way. wayno Link to comment
