So, I need to order a new throttle cable, which will be run for a carbed motor.

How do I run the cable to the carb link bar? Is there a pulley or channel or something to make the bends easier? What do I need to do to get the leverage to actuate the linkage? Do I need to order a special throttle cable (longer or somehting?)

I'm dumb, pics are helpful. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

On the actual throttle cable bracket, it amazes me that very few of the
kits include one. Most of the crossbar linkages leave it up to your imagination
on how to do this. This is true of the CB kit.
Triad's linkage kit includes a very nice cable bracket and they will sell it
to you separately if you just want the bracket.

I have collected many pictures of different folks solutions.
A few have already been shown.
Here are a couple more photos of the many I have including a new one I just
saw which is on page 31 of the latest AA catalog.
Perhaps George would sell this separately from his FI kit.
Here is Georges pulley bracket:

No idea, but that's a picture of the motor in my first 914. I bought the car back after it ate a cam lobe and took that entire dual carb setup and put it on the zambeziteen. I'm running it right now.
