Ok this is the little piece that connects the choke wire to the choke lever.
Its from a universal choke conversion kit.
Its on my down draft weber.

Where can I find I new one?


Posting pictures in a few but its easier for me to post in mobile version first then switch to desktop view.

Without a pic I'll throw my hat into the ring and say a bicycle shop?

Take it to NAPA - they have stuff like that. I've seen those at Lowes, too.

Stopped by an auto shop on my way home yesterday.
Showed it them
Told them what it does
Asked if they had any or anything similar...

He looked at me like "what's a choke? Weber? Is that like holley?"
He was clueless about anything car related.
I'll try napa over in the town I work in.
They're a bit more car smart.

Possibly a lawn equipment repair shop?

Lawn equipment? That's really offensive! These are exotic sports cars we're talkin' about here! Makes me wonder though...Does anybody have a PTO rig for their B? I might get my wife more jazzed on it if she saw it earning its keep.

Commonly knows as a "cable stop." You should be able to find it on the Linkage page on the Pierce Manifolds web site but you can also find one listed with the heater valve and heater control cable on the Moss web site. I just bought a couple of 'em two weeks ago.

Dave, just how big a PTO are you looking for? We have some logging equipment, out back, so I could take a look for you. A simple cable stop, as mentioned above. It should be available anywhere that sells cables. RAY

Look in the general hardware section of any auto parts store. I bought a small package with a varity of sizes for a few bucks at AutoZone.... For that exact application.
