My first post in this section, recognising the similarities I hope someone can suggest my best course of action.
I bought the black one knowing that there was an "issue" with the choke cable, but because it started and ran I never really though much of it. However, I would like to fix it sooner rather than later.
I don't know much about this kind of thing - having grown up in the electronic ignition generation and have only seen one other car with a choke - but I took these pics of where I think the problem lies. One of the previous owners looks to have bodged a cable with connecting blocks. I assume this is the choke cable?
Are replacements easy to find/fit?
Also, the 3rd pic is of a little puddle of oil I've just noticed. I ran the engine for a bit and the puddle didn't seem to get larger and I couldn't see any obvious leaks. Should I be worried?
