Choke cable stuck on 2145
 

My HDS 2145 serial # 290 290 choke cable frozen

Would wd 40 work or should I use a different oil?

Also is there a best way to remove cable?

Thanks,

John

Yes, WD-40 or replace the cable.

Nothing special, it's just like changing any other choke cable.

I use a cable lube for motorcycles. There is a tool just for doing cables. It can do different size sheaths. Grommet has steps in it. Yours may already be beyond saving if stuck. But might help with future cable maintenance.

Hope this link works. Not promoting this one in particular. I use cable life and like it very much. But there are many out there.

The 2000 series cables have a funky snap in mount on the dash unlike normal cables.

I used Power Blaster on one that was stuck.

I agree with the MC cable lube.

My bad. I've changed them before, but I guess I don't remember the snap ring..... :bigthink: Maybe it had been replaced before. IDK. Maybe it wasn't a 2145 either. :beerchug:

No snap ring, they are plastic and push into a square hole in the dash. Crappy design.

YES! Oh, yeah.... I remember that. Those are a PITA! :angry:
