Heater and Choke cable routing
« on: Saturday,March 18, 2017, 05:32:27 AM »
Hi all,

I currently have the heater and choke cables running through the same hole as my gear linkage.

I this correct - or should they run through the 2 small holes above the linkage - per the attached pic.

any thoughts?

Thanks

AFAIK, the choke and heater cables run outside the chassis.

If you have a TC though, they run through the small holes you mention.

It's not at all difficult, I've just done it.
