Well, now that the cable is installed and through the tunnel and connected to the gas pedal properly I have a metric mile of excess cable.
Is this a known/common issue for replacement throttle cables on a dual carb hex bar set up? Anyone else run into this?[ attachmentid=941520] Attached thumbnail(s)

Maybe you need to wrap the accelerator cable around the clutch cable a few times? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) Seriously, though, did you hook up the other end of the cable to the gas pedal first? |
