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) Zach |

Sorry to resurrect a thread, but those who want to know how to run throttle cable mounts, like myself, enjoy this thread!
I made this out of 1 inch by 1/4 inch aluminum so i could rapidly work the metal the way i wanted it without needing a torch. It works, but it floppy and bendy, but is a good prototype i think. Attached thumbnail(s)

Looking at your bracket, I am wondering if you will get enough travel in the linkage. I just built a new bracket tonight that gave me more range of travel and what a huge difference! Have someone sit in the car and floor the throttle. So how much range the linkage rotates through. See if it opens the throttles all the way. If not, then back to the drawing board. Which is exactly where I am right now too. I have a few more degrees of rotation that I am missing at the top end that I need to find somehow. Good luck! |
