In putting Mark's engine back in and replacing the broken accelerator cable. It seems the cable isn't quite long enough to work/fit correctly. In the FI arrangement the cable crosses the engine at 45 degrees. In dual carbs it needs to come at the bar at 90 degrees. Which pulls the bowden out of the firewall. Which will allow water down the cable tube.

What have others done to work around this ?

Ok one more since you have now made personal. As others might attest to, this is where it starts to get interesting. I didn't tell you to FUCK OFF! or call you a CUNT!!!. Simply observations from personal experience. One would presume that learned gentleman as yourself would understand the applications and the differences. Perhaps the contrary?

ZOIKS! "Bananaman". I don't know. I'm crushed.






















Wait for it.
















Nope.












Wait for it.

















Did your ex wife have a penis?

I know you didn't tell me those thing's directly rhodyguy, it's called "baiting me" (particularly the "nope & wait for it". Classic baiting) to add fuel to a fire and intended to make others giggle, snigger, cheer and actually think you did call me directly those things, and maybe to promote or encite someone else to do so directly in their next post. (because no one reads into the intention on the internet, just sees the words which is why we're where we are now on this thread). But I've been around the block, I kinda know you wanted to call me those things anyway and used the observation and experience as a convenient tool to deliver the elephant in the room.

My Bananaman respose is a non offensive word, light hearted reply to you trying to bait me. If you take it as a personal attack to be playfully called Bananaman, you need to lighten up a little and you're letting this thread get to you.
As for my wife having a gentlemans part, she thought she did sometimes. Thinking about it, it would have gone with her moustache though.

Paintedman, I have nothing against any of the folks who make these products.
It seems that if I highlight any issue where they could be improved (whichever way that opinion is expressed on whatever product) the drawbridges are raised and the arrows are fired by their supporters.
I get it.
What I don't get is why everyone has to take this personally when I'm talking about a product not a man, and then get so hot under the collar?
Is it because you don't think I appreciate that the vendors have gotten up of their behinds and invested their time and money in bringing to market a product?
Is it because you think I dont understand how tough that is?
Do you think that I have no appreciation of how many people they've helped out.
Is it because you think I don't realize that (apart from Empi) that they probably haven't made any money out of it?
Do you think I simply don't appreciate everyones gratitude for what they've done?

Trust me I do.

All of this toing and froing is unfortunately detracting from the linkage and cable issues.
There are good points made in this thread that are getting lost in the bun fight.
This is a real shame.
