Post subject:  Throttle cable
The bloody throttle cable snapped in the middle. Glad it happened now.

I will replace it with a generic, however any ideas on how to add the lumpy bit, that fits into the accelerator pedal, onto the cable?

Bicycle cables have a very similar lump on the end. You can lash out and get a teflon lined you beauty cable for 7 bucks. Cross fit the brass end fittings from the old outer cable if you have them.

Oh, Grease it before you re-install it.

Don't over adjust it. You want the pedal on the floor with the butterfly 99% open. :wink:
If you have 100% throttle and the pedal just off the floor you will break the cable very quickly.

I have a push bike cable as a throttle cable and it works perfectly. :D

ONe trick with push bike accelerator cables is to cut the excess off with an angle grinder cutting disc rather than a pair of cutters. This will help stop the indiviual wires being crushed and mishaped so that you can still fit it to the carb. If you have a good soldering iron get it really hot and dab a touch of solder on the end to hold the wires. Just a few tips to making life easy. :wink:

I tried two bike cables and they both freyed at the end of the sheath where it goes throurgh the firewall. Mind you they ware rubbish chinese things. So I have ordered a teflon coated core and a new sheath. Thanks for the feedback. Might make a good How-To :wink:
