Throttle cable stiffness

(1/5) > >>

Multiman:
And onto another issue.

My throttle is stiff to turn and returns to closed very slowly.

I think its due to the angle the pull cable makes with the throttle "butterfly" if thats the right word.

I've attached a picture so you can see.

How can I improve the situation please?

Cheers

Tim

Sesman:
I would agree. That cable holder has been used and abused. It needs bending back to stop the cable inner binding on the outer. It may not cure your problem, but that needs sorting as a start.

Multiman:

I'm getting quite good at removing and refitting the carbs

Has anyone got a picture from a similar angle, of what the cable holder should look like.
I think I know what I'm looking to do but every little helps!

Cheers

Tim

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
This shows how the angle should be - no cables fitted.

Multiman:
Thanks Ted that’s brilliant.
Mine is a huge way out compared to that.
I’ll report back
