Choke Control Service - Simplicity LTH series Service Manual

Engine Choke Control Service
(Twin Cylinder Units Only)
On units with a dash-mounted engine choke control, the
control is a push-pull button mounted on the lower left
portion of the dash assembly (Figure B–30). For easiest
service access, the battery should be removed from the
unit.
1. Loosen the choke cable clamp on the engine using a
phillips head screwdriver, and after noting the en-en-
gagement of the cable end with the choke lever, re-
move the cable end from the choke lever (Figure
B–31).
2. From inside the dashboard area, unscrew the hex nut
that secures the choke cable assembly to the dash,
and slide the choke cable and handle assembly out
of the front of the dash. See Figure B–32.
3. Inspect all parts for wear or damage, and replace as
required.
4. Reassemble parts in reverse order of disassembly.
5. Check the engine choke linkage for proper engage-
ment with the cable and smooth operation of choke.
See the engine manufacturer's instructions for com-
plete choke adjustment instructions.
