Useless Choke Cable

[Straw Bear]

I have fitted all new cables to my bike whilst doing it up to prevent any misdemeanours whist out riding but sadly my choke cable lasted all of less than 50 miles
I am sure that it was fitted correctly but the nipple cam off the end thankfully I retrieved it from the 389 monobloc carb.
I was stranded and had a lengthy walk pushing home around five miles - nice that so many bikers just passed me by......

Anyway got me thinking the bike never needs the choke to start and I dont use in cold weather so could I safely remove it without any issues?

Should be no problem with it removed, flood on tickler if it needs it.

Used my A10 without a choke for years, though I have now refitted one.

I suggest screw a blanking plug in the carb top when cable removed.

I don't know about the monobloc, but on the anal MK1 you can remove the choke slide easily enough, but you need to block off the choke cable hole in the top. Either a blob of silicon or a proper screw from Amal.

Thanks good people that will be one less thing to break down.....
