Choke tube striped carb cap

[pakitdvr]

Any suggestions my choke cable tubes came loose and stripped the hole out in the carb cap out. The replacement tubes army long enough to lock nut the bottom. Was thinking of trying a cycle 90 deg assy but thought I would throw it to you guys and see if any one else has had this prob

Had that happen to one of my carbs . Welded a non lock nut onto the top of the bracket and used another nut on the choke cable tube for a jam nut . Appears the other carb will require this repair also soon. This is on the bing carbs on the 912

That was for a 912 rotax that sounds like an easy fix would jbweld work as well?

might be worth a try , kind of a pain removing the cables to get the bracket off.

I have JB weld on mine for 4 years now. No issues yet.

My problem was a little bit different. I purchased a 150 hour engine that didn't have the bent tube assemblies. Rather than pay Rotax for their $45 tubes, I decided to make my own. The 3/16" stainless from my local hobby store worked fine. I inserted a length of 1/8" Nylaflo tubing to reduce the friction on the cable and bent it to shape leaving enough straight on one end to cut 10-32 threads long enough to allow for nuts on each end. On the cable end, I used the telescoping aluminum tubing from the same source and layered up a fitting to accommodate the outer sheath of the cable. I used epoxy to hold the fitting together. In the event of the Nylaflo not being captured sufficiently by the bend, exposed ends could be flared by using a hot piece of metal.

Thank you all I've made some from brass heavy wall tube threaded and made adjusters used standard thread so will be easy going to install tomorrow and see how they work will send pics

Lowell,

Know where I can get a Ferrule like the one on the cable in the picture?
