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 you installed the cable did you have any resistance in the tube when trying to slide into place. I had a Terry cable bust in half after only being about a year old. I found a small weld bead in the tunnel near the firewall. Mechanic that put the terrry cable in pounded the cable past the bead, it failed a year later. I found the bead when trying to install a new cable. Bead was removed and no problems since.
