max choke handle

[scott19700_1]

help, i broke the choke handle off in the cab of my max ll. there's still enough cable to put a handle back on. any idea's for a handle or is the stock black handle replaceable, thanks

if you are running a newer machine with a briggs or kohler, you can get a new choke cable assembly from any auto parts store for around $10.
ask for a universal fit manual choke. get a long one (i usually grab a 9 foot). pull the handle/ inner cable all the way out of the housing. install/ route the housing and cut to length. then grease the cable and slide it back in. bend the end of the cable into a "Z" and cut off the excess. hook i to the engine and your done. I always but the one with the metal handle as they are a little tougher than the plastic version

awesome idea, thank you. i have the tecumseh 16 in my 89' max but your idea should work the same.

[racerone3]

yep, should work the same. pull your old one out first and you can just copy the length from it. just remember to pull the cable out before you cut the housing... not that I've ever made that mistake before

do you put anything on new cable so it cant freeze or bind up ? thanks again

I just wipe the cable with some red grease before I slide it in. you could also spray a bunch of wd-40 in the housing as it will help keep water out
