Title: Attaching choke and throttle cables to carbs......HELP?!
Post by: Tyrant171 on October 13, 2005, 12:58:06 PM
Hey guys, I just recently took my carbs completely out of my bike, which entailed removing the clutch and throttle cables from them. I've put the carbs in before, but never had to re-attach the cables. I think I got the choke cable on fine, but I can't figure out how to approach the throttle cable.........

Can anyone give me any advice/instructions on how to properly attach both cables? Pictures or diagrams would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks guys!

BTW, I already did a search through the forums and could not come up with any info pertaining to this task.

You have to have the nut that holds the cable in REALLY REALLY loose. You'll want to slip the ball end on the cable into the throttle control thingy, then allow the wire to fit into the grooves and then move the threaded metal part with the nut into the hook-bracket thing. You also might want to loosen up the throttle cable up at the controls.
