Hi

The next problem I have picked up on my new (to me) 914-6 conversion is the accelerator cable and linkages. Whoever did the conversion did a terrible job of just bringing a cable up all the way from under the engine up to the carbs by bending it and holding it with brackets. Not very effective at all.

Any suggestions as to the most effective way of hooking the whole mechanism correctly?

I have the original bellcrank-style linkage and it works very well ONCE it's dialed-in, i.e. rod lengths and cable adjusters at both ends. Takes some patience but it has to be better than some of the cobbled-together cable setups I've seen. Plus, it "looks right", cuz it is exactly how it was done back in the day...
