please help with throttle cable on carbs

gantt · March 28th, 2015, 12:30 PM

In the months that I've had this bike apart, I have forgotten how the cables are attached to the carbs. I have the right cable in the right spot, but I would need to adjust a lot to make it work. I think I'm missing something. Can someone please post a picture or two of the carbs where the cables connect? That way I will see what I'm doing wrong. Thanks

Thanks Alex. Didn't think of YouTube. From the video, I have them right. But they are adjusted all the way out and the retract cable is loose. Also I can see where the cables are bent like they used to be in w different configuration. Also, throttle doesn't return well at all. It doesn't actually hang up, but it doesn't close on its on.

The problem may be in poor lubrication of the cables and/or handle.
The spring in the carburetor is strong enough to pull back the main cable and to rotate the handle all the way.

Please, take a look at these:

Thanks moto, but the issue I have is proper routing on the carb side. The cable is bent like it used to be mounted in a different way. I can't find any other way to mount it. I'm sure it will be a facepalm moment when I figure it out.
