Default B16b choke cable

Hi, anybody have any idea as to how the cable is fastened in the pull. There are two holes which don't seem to do anything. Also the cable doesn't seem to be soldered in as I can move it in and out fractionally and also rotate the cable in the shaft.
Alternatively, Any one know where I could get a complete replacement.

It appears to be a pressed fit, the two holes are where a punch was used to deform the shaft and secure the cable. 50 years of use has loosened the crimp.

It seems your choke pull has the exact same construction as the pull for releasing the bonnet latch of the Amazon.

If that is so I can answer your question: There is nothing wrong with yours. It was made that way. (It doesn’t suffer from old age as suggested by c1800 from Calgary.)

My bonnet latch release broke some time ago - pics herewith.

I had a careful look and this is the way they seem to have been made. There is a centre hole in the end of the shaft, into which the steel wire is inserted. Then there are two holes through the diameter of the shaft. The shaft is not crimped onto the wire. Instead, only the wire is crimped/flattened, presumably by means of a tool that engages with the wire through the diameter holes. With this construction the wire can indeed rotate in the shaft and can be moved up and down a fraction as you mention, but the crimping of the wire prevents it from being pulled back out again.

Any bright ideas on how I can repair mine?

Take the handle off and silver-solder the inner into the remains of the hole. Might need a new inner if there isn't enough spare length in the old one.

I think the handle comes off with a roll pin, or possibly it just unscrews, I can't properly remember.

If it won't come off then you can drill the hole deeper and epoxy the wire in. Make the drill as little larger than the wire as possible, and clean both parts with surgical thoroughness using acetone.

No roll pin there as far as I can see. And I twisted the handle with quite some force to see if will unscrew. No go, however. :-(

So there it is. A picture is worth 1000 words. Wire inserted into shaft and then crimped with a punch. It can be clearly seen in the pic's
