Choke cabels graphic layout?

Post by braca23 »

Dear Guys,

I would like to ask for a photo of a original front-side-graphic layout of a choke cable for 124 Spider BS/CS. There is a two cables left and right (looking from a steering wheel). I can imagine how a left one looks like, but I can not find original photo of a right one. Please, if anyone can help me, because I would like to rebuild that detail on my car.

There is a photo to explain what I mean. This silver circle pointed with an red arrow, is what I cant find in good resolution on web.

Thank you, and excuse me if this is a doubled topic.

Are you sure you're not talking about the hand throttle? It is on the right side of the steering column in early cars. Same knob as the choke (which is on the left side), but the hand throttle is not labeled.

I meant to respond to this when you originally posted and forgot. There are two knobs. The one on the left is the choke. The one on the right is a throttle. Here are the two on my 1974:

The earlier ones had graphics instead of words. Mine fell of and are awaiting glue in a box somewhere. I will see if I can dig them up.

Yes, I mean on hand throttle cable (to the right from the steering wheel). Sorry my mistake.

Thanks for the fotos, but mine are earlier type. :( I found a photo of choke cable, now I just need the same for the hand throttle.

Now, technically my coupe doesn't have a traditional choke plate, it has enrichment circuit, so I like the think that the top picture accurately depicts the explosions that sometimes come out of the top of the twin IDFs. :wink:
