Is there a way to fix the choke cable?

[bojo3919]

Why not try using a screw type hose clamp (say ~3/4" dia) and clamp the choke cable directly to the tubular handle right next to the choke control lever? It's cheap and might be worth a try ?

Looks like you could get a new one shipped to you for @ $20.
I would do that.

Please see the attached picture. My choke cable sheathing moves from the housing each time I try to use it. IF I hold it in place, it works, but I would like to fix it if possible.

A simple zip tie will work.

A simple zip tie will work.

till it stretches & gets loose
Remember it is just a choke cable so only is used once every mow
The big worry is not allowing the choke to fully open .

Just like someone already said use a hose clamp!
I Do this on all my old mowers with throttle controls. It works very well for me and it doesn't cost much.

Pull the sheathing out, clean the cable and the interior of the crimp material well, apply JB weld and insert it back in leaving it for 12 hours. Before using spray the cable sheath full length with your favorite lubricant.

This would work. I'd say make sure you can insert all the way in after cleaning, apply JB weld to the end, maybe a little in the tube, insert, and crimp again, after set maybe put some heat shrink to it.

It's amazing what a farm kid can do with Balen Wire or Copper Wire. Will probably fix / crimp that pizzy thin sleeve.

Just buy a replacement cable. Cheap enough and permanent.
