side of the firewall beside the instrument panel.

Required Tools:
Fine nose pliers
Screwdrivers
Soldering iron or gas burner (for older aircraft only)

Level of Certification:

Disconnect the choke inner & outer cable from the carburettor.
To remove the cable end fitting, remove the cotter pin (Figure 150). Note that for older aircraft
the soldered end fitting must be heated (with a powerful soldering iron or small gas burner) and
removed when the solder melts.
Undo the clamp nuts from the cabin end of the cable.
Where equipped, un-screw and remove the fireproof fitting on the firewall which the cable passes
through.
Draw the cable through the firewall & panel. In some cases removal of the end fitting will be
necessary to achieve this.
Installation is the reverse of the removal process above. Note that when the firewall fitting is re-
fitted fireproof putty (available from Jabiru Aircraft) must be replaced to ensure a flame-proof
seal.
