The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Engine Shop Hooking up a Cluth cable

Hi, I've got a couple of Carter carbs. They both need cluth cables. Can ya'll show me how to hook up each of the cables.

And Remind me how to spell Clutch. And it's a Chock cable.

You just missed the second 'c'. But we knew what you're talking about. It's Clutch.

[on edit] Since you're talking about carburetors, did you mean Choke? If so, you were way off.

Yes Your right Its a Choke Cable.

Here's a pic of my Carter YF carb. The choke cable sheath clamps in at the yellow arrow and the wire at the red arrow. You'll need to adjust it so when the choke control is pushed all the way to the dash, the choke plate is vertical in the throat of the carb.

Well mine has a Threaded spot. Where the cable attaches. It's a YF for a Nash 1960 it has a number 877SA.

Well, I guess it got a automatic choke. I don't understand why it has a connection to a threaded connection, unless it used to set it up at first.

First off, is the carb for your ‘52 3600? What engine do you have?

The threaded connection is for a heat riser tube that comes from the exhaust manifold. There is a little casing that is attached to the exhaust manifold has a small tube that connects to the threaded portion on the carburetor. The heat from the exhaust (from around the manifold, not exhaust gases), as the engine heats, up causes the spring inside the black casing on the carb, to heat up and expand opening the choke plate. Take some pictures of what you have and hopefully we can tell you what you are missing.
