Hi,
I decided to take a drive on Friday... hopped in, got all ready to fire up... pumped the throttle as I always do, and snap - tension releases as the throttle cable lets go. Upon investigation, it separated at what appears to be a crimped connector near the carb linkage. Never noticed the connector before, but perhaps when I switched from Progressive carb to dual 40's, my mechanic had to crimp on another few inches of cable? anyway, I can easily fit the loose end back inside the connector. My questions are: 1. Should I just insert it, crimp the connector, and call it a day? 2. Should I add anything (loctite, gorilla glue) and then crimp it? 3. Should I consider this a temporary fix and replace the whole cable ASAP? Or will this DIY job last if done properly? |
