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)

The ground strap is an interesting idea, I'll check it and the route of the cable by the headers.

I'm also going to run a bore brush through the metal tube through the firewall (I figure a .44 brush should be large enough ... I might have a 16ga one laying around here somewhere).

I'm going to go ahead and order the OEM one since it doesn't seem to be the weak link.


This did get me thinking about some sort of electronic system ... I wonder if it would be easier to sync the carbs with a couple of electronic actuators and an electronic pedal as opposed to the cable and linkage system I've got.
