    Default Choke cable stop nuts

    I cannot see how to mount the stop nuts for the choke cable on the 912ULS at the two carburator levers. Does anyone have a picture?

    Thanks

    Tom,

    Here is the closest shot I have from the right side of the engine. The tail is cut a little short, I would rather have left a little more cable sticking out past the nut.

    Thanks Dave. It looks like mine. I have to loosen the whole lever to get the stop inserted into the hole in the lever

    Thanks
    Tom

    So Dave/Tom, you DO have to loosen/remove the choke arm to get that stop nut in??
    I have not found an orientation of anything today that would allow me to slip it in the back side, but the manual says nothing about have to remove the lever and reinstall.

    I found it necessary to loosen the lever - but sometimes the gurus here find ways to do things easier than I do.
    When I close out I will put a dab of the same locking epoxy I put on all of my electrical connections. Get you the spec tomorrow

    Thanks Tom. I scanned thru the Rotax maintenance manual and did not find any mention of torque for this nut. Looks to be an M8 which Rotax would default to 24 Nm (17.7 ft-lb) torque per page 35 of their maintenance manual, but that seems a bit high for that nut. Do you (or anyone else) know where Rotax addresses the installation of this nut (i.e. the carburetor linkages)?
