Connecting my choke? Weber conversion URGENT HELP REQUIRED!
UPDATE- The choke mechanism is cable-tied open, so providing you lot tell me everything is there, and where to route the choke cable. I can start having some fun!
I just need to know HOW I connect the cable to the choke lever, and where to route the cable/how long the cable needs to be?

Currently, i'm having to replicate the choke by blocking part of the top of the carb to richen the mixture, not fun trying to start it!

The choke cable on mine loops round over the top of the engineand pulls from the front,the outer cable is clamped onto a bracket (battery side of the carb) your bracket looks to be at the rear? Not sure thats the same as the weber on my car,recently had to swap mine due to a leaking diaphragm, tried to post some pictures for you but cant as photobucket seems to be down for maintenance,will get some up asap.

Hi Alex,hope this helps you, weber carb off my 1.8 cabby.
Left side of the picture is pointing at the front of the car,viewed from the passenger side if that makes any sense?
Bracket on the left is where the choke outer cable clamps to, inner cable goes into the clamping bolt in the centre of the picture. Pete
