CHOKE CABLE

A choke cable is a component of a motor vehicle, particularly in older models, that manually adjusts the air-fuel mixture ratio for optimal cold starts. It is a cable connected to the choke of a carburetor, allowing the driver to reduce air intake to create a richer fuel mixture. This aids in getting the engine started more quickly in low temperatures. Nowadays, choke cables are often replaced by automatic systems in modern vehicles, but they remain vital in classic cars and motorcycles that require manual operation.
