Throttle cable for carbs, How do you run it Options

[VaccaRabite]

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)

that's a very inventive puke can in post #20. judging by the mess, it works very well too. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif)

btw. the linkage i pictured is the Triad unit.

keeping the linkage on the inside arm (pushing down to open the plates) helps to maintain a more verticle aspect on the threaded drop rods.

in case you haven't noticed, the AA kit is comprised of the bracket and a wheel for a thermosat bellow wire. saw that setup in camarillo in 05'.

I've also noticed that on the CB kit a true vertical geometry can't really be achieved
when using the drop rods on the outside.
The problem is that you can't quite move the crossbar arms over far enough to get
them to line up vertically. The arms tend to hit the air cleaners first.
You can still make it work but it doesn't line up quite as well as when the
rods on the inside.
As I was recently looking over the CB linkages for some sort of throttle bracket,
I noticed that all the photos on CB site show the rods on the inside, except this
one: Click for CB linkage Picture
If you look closely at this picture from CB, it looks like they are using a heim
joint extension on the crossbar arm.
CB sells them under part#3395 and #3396. One 3395 is included in the
914 kit to space the drop link out to miss the factory carb shaft arm.
If you used 2 more on the hex bar arms, you would pickup additional horizontal
width which should be enough to line up the outside drop rods.
Which looks like what they did in that photo.
