47 Frazer Choke control
« on: May 03, 2017, 05:45:30 PM »
Apologize for starting a new thread, but posted back in March on a older thread, and didn't get any reply.

What I'm looking for is a couple of pictures of the W-1 574S carburetor mounted on the manifold,
that shows how the linkage is connected, with the choke cable.  The carburetor I have is missing parts apparently. So any
help someone can provide would be appreciated.  I think I also need to acquire a new choke cable as
the one installed I think might be to short....
Got the ultimatum, get it running or get rid of it..

I've been to the yard in Peyton, there are no early cars with hand choke carburetors.

I may have a choke knob and cable for the Frazer, I'll check the parts room when I'm next there.

Thanks, I know about the grave yard, but it's really hard to get a hold of anyone. Fred's son I think is running it off an on.
Here's a picture of the choke cable coming out the firewall as you can see it won't come close to reaching the carb, so wondering if it hooks up differently, then directly to the carburetor.

I measured the choke cable I have and it's 30" long not including the knob. Unfortunately, I didn't part the car out it came from so I can't speak to its routing but looking at the parts list, there's a firewall grommet listed which tells me that the cable had it's own pass-thru, rather than with other cables.

I found a 574s carb on the shelf. Does yours have the cable connections shown?

Yes it does, here's a pick of what the linkage side looks like...

Jim,  I pulled out my cable today, it is only 30" long as yours. So I'm looking at this and trying to figure out how
it is supposed to reach the carburetor, there must be a mechanism it hooks too that is connected to the carb.
That 30" cable doesn't even come close to reaching the carb.

I think the cable passed straight thru the firewall, rather than up and out with the other cables. Look around, there has to be a pass thru on the passenger side near the center of the car. The cable connects directly to the carb, there is no in-between mechanism.

I agree with that, I was looking and there is a small hole, not sure if the cable will fit, also means I have to swap a couple of knobs around, because it currently mounts next to the AC knob. so will have to move it to the opposite end....
Thanks Jim...

Got a hold of Ms Walker, she's letting her neighbor handle it now, so waiting on a call
back. Going to do some serious shopping when I get back in there. Have been in the
warehouse 1 time, and its like a candy store of parts.
