Default SE Valve nut/ choke cable

I originally made a post about a stripped nut but figured it out and decided to edit this thread and make it something else..haha. If a moderator could change the title for me, I'd greatly appreciate it

Ok, so I am in the middle of removing my carb.

Looking at the service manual makes no sense at all!

It says "Disconnect the choke cable by turning the SE valve nut, being careful not to damage the SE valve"

Well, I turn the valve nut and nothing happens other than it wanting to come out of the carb.......

What machine are you working on?

Generally you unthread that nut, and withdraw the SE valve from the carb. It will probably be a cylinder shaped thing, with a pin protruding on the end, and a seal somewhere on the side of the cylinder.

I unthreaded the plastic nut all the way out but it won't pull out.

It won't pull out because the choke plunger is seized ..

You might try some penetrating oil and letting it soak.

So how should I get it out? Just pull on it really hard and then replace the cable and plastic nut? Or can I buy a bolt to plug the hole in the carb? I've never had to use the choke.

I'd be as gentile with it as possible. After soaking with PB Blaster or whatever, try giggling it around.

Hopefully it will come out and you can clean it up and reinstall. You don't want to plug the hole with something else, as that would leave the choke circuit on.

Oh, well that's no good... How do I get the plastic nut assembly off the choke cable? Or is that what you are saying is seized up?


On #9, it is 3 pieces?

What if I cut the cable and leave the end in the carb? Would that work as a temporary fix?

Don't cut the cable .. I would just give the cable a good pull , chances are it will pop out of the 2 ears of the plunger ..
