Seen that one $60 after shipping is too much for a choke cable. Gonna go with a universal one for 11$http://m.ebay.com/itm?itemId=380541228597. Guess I will run a wire from the steering Column to the carb to get a measurement on how long it needs to be. Thanks wyeeoddy

I've got a used cable somewhere if you are interested I can dig it out

Let us know how the universal one works out maybe start another topic and do a review as you install, its always nice to know alternative parts.

Will do hoser i just have to talk myself into going into the garage to work on it and get the measurements lol. until then heres some pics of my front J arms painted them silver using Rustoleum Hammered.

Almost considered the hammered gold but decided to go with a Blue Silver and White paint scheme.

met up with someone selling some odds and ends odyssey parts on craigslist turned out to be a pilotodyssey member shoubadaba. showed me the FL350 he restored from his posts on here... its pretty sweet in person! Here some of the stuff I purchased from him. Will be nice to have some extra nuts and bolts etc for the project! I know some random bits of it are from something other then a fl350.

Just a quick one

The Honda OEM cable Assy has a Adjuster @ the knob so when it is pulled out it stays out till it is
pushed back


Also PM sent

Didn't think about that, not sure if the one I got will do the same guess I will find out when it gets here, thanks Wyeeoddy.
Replied to your PM.

Talking about trannys and panty hose got my attention! LOL

I see you're in Riverside. There are quite a few members in the area, including myself (Rancho Cucamonga). If you ever need some assistance or whatever, let me know. Others like Kuma, Halorising, Westecbuilder, and a few more.

Nice project, looks like you are on the correct path.

Thanks Nick
careful I may take you up on that offer next thing you know I'm pulling up to your place with the ody on a trailer asking for help! lol but yeh I've seen a few members whos locations are near by. Pilotodyssey club Inland Empire Chapter anyone? haha. soon as I get this thing going gonna go out to the BLM land out passed lake mathews.

Right now i'm waiting on my stuff to arrive to make a leak down tester to check the Engine, soon as that's done I can figure out where to go from there.

Made a new battery strap



also was messing with the shifter which has some problems.

heres a video of the shifter right side doesnt stay in place and other sides bind up when trying to slide in and out.

That bolt on the shifter assy doesn't go through the nylock nut. Might come off one day.

Nice cnc plasma setup! Is that a home-built unit or did you buy it?

As per Can ody
the bolt that runs throught the Gear change arm is to short needs to be
35mm long x 6

The cable are not adjusted correctly
PAGE 9-17 -18 of the workshop manual

Is the cable stay\bracket at the air filter suppose to keep the cables from moving or is it just a guide. The one on the left just moves through it the one on the right looks like he cut and bent in to hold the cable in place.

The bracket just holds the cables in place no clips

You need to ADJUST the cables as per previous post

If you DON'T repair or replace that bracket,you'll NEVER achieve proper cable function,even after adjustments.
The outer cable sheath has to be held and anchored in that bracket,inorder for the inner wire cable to attain proper function,but all your pics and vid shows it to be badly deformed and broken.
Also on the bolt,just remove both the washers,1 under the head,1 under the flanged nut.

OOPS a closer look at the bracket.

YES Bug the bracket is debunked

thanks guys, I figured mine looked pretty funked up and not operating as it should. I found another one in the next city over for 9$ so I will drive out tomorrow and grab it. no sense in screwing with this one when there's one for a few bucks down the way.

Installed the new choke cable. New cable went into the original choke hole no problem there's only a lil bit of play in it which will tighten up once I tighten down the nut. The length worked out well there's plenty left over to cut down if I want to. Here's some pics. Will create a seperate thread with this info and pics as per hosers request to make alternate parts findable for people.

pulled my carb apart to see what jets are in it. Now we know.

picked up the new bracket the other day and installed it. its in fair condition with a lil surface rust nothing major will eventually clean it up and paint it. the project has kinda slowed down since i've been experiencing pain in my foot that turned out to be gout so i've been spending more time on the couch then in the garage.

Now that looks better.

pieced together my leak down / pressure tester now i need to get some expanding freeze plugs to block off the intake and the exhaust. its a 0 to 15 psi gauge in 1 psi increments which is perfect for this application! when I went to autozone the asshat there told me they don't have expanding plugs and they cant find anything without looking up a vehicle first so i smiled and said 1985 honda odyssey needless to say we got no where. will go back to another one with an actual part number next time.
