Loose choke lever?

[The Wingnut]

Hey, folks.

My 260's choke lever is loose...the loop on the end of the cable will occasionally 'click' out of the keepers(which look like small blocks of aluminum) on the lever, and I can't open the choke back up as a result. I know there's a way to tighten this, but I can't seem to get at the underside of the console to do it.

Any ideas?

Unless the 260 is completely different than the 240 it's quite easy to remove the entire center console. Just make sure you've removed all of the screws before pulling it out.

Once you've addressed the immediate problem you might consider fabricating a bracket to mount the choke handle mechanism to the transmission tunnel instead of to the plastic console.
