Well, it's been about 2 years but the teener isn't drivable at the moment. Throttle cable finally disintegrated -- the braided cable at the firewall was a disaster, and the nylon sheathing inside was toast as well. I putt-putted over to the shop this evening (boss had left for the day when I got there) and tried installing a loaner, but the stupid fuching metal sheath that goes over the outlet on the firewall is seized on there güdentite.
I'll get under there with an angle grinder and order a new cable altogether tomorrow. If it weren't stuck on there, I would have had the cable swapped out in a whopping 20 minutes. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) At least then I can spend some more time on the engine assembly. I think the oil cooler, filter mount and some sheet metal are going on next. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) |

I've been there and feel your pain. Haven't had a 914 for a few years now BUT when I did I always carried a spare clutch cable and accelerator cable.

Wellp, after about 20 minutes this afternoon I got the new throttle cable in. Feels smooth! Not wrapped around the clutch cable, on my first try.
