Third throttle cable in a year Options

[Zundfolge]

So is the "OEM" throttle cable Pelican sells just crap? Or am I doing something wrong? Is the Terry cable worth twice the price?

This is the third cable I've had to replace in less than a year ... seems to be kinking somewhere between the pedal and the firewall even though I made 110% sure its not binding on the clutch cable.


Now my car is carbed and you have to pump the pedal for a minute or two when starting it cold, so maybe I'm just putting the cable through too much stress.



Anyone make a fly by wire system for a carbed 914? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

When the cable is new, is the action smooth? I know it's a completely subjective question, but unless you have monster return springs, the throttle should open smoothly and easily. Too much tension, or a weird routing can stress the cable to breaking.

A years worth of throttle blipping should absolutely not cause the cable to fail, in an otherwise functional installation. You should get YEARS out of a cable.
