13.8 CHOKE CABLE
13.8.1 DESCRIPTION
The Choke Control is normally located in the main instrument panel & is connected to the
carburettor by a control cable. In some cases the Choke Control may be located on the left-hand
side of the firewall beside the instrument panel.
13.8.2 REMOVAL, INSPECTION & INSTALLATION
Disconnect the choke inner & outer cable from the carburettor.
To remove the cable end fitting, remove the cotter pin (Figure 138). 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 Aicraft) must be replaced to ensure a flame-proof seal.
