k3 throttle cable pulley
MikeM:
spoke to a couple of members who have what I assume is a different set up to what I have
attaching the throttle cables to the pulley on top of carbs
on what I have seen pics ( 500 and 400f ?) of the cable nipple go into 2 holes on the same pulley one to open and one to close
on the k3 I assume its different
ie one goes into pulley other one goes into a cradle that swings up
so am I correct and if so does the cable go under the carbs or as I have it now over the carbs
also cable route correct ..... under rpm, down the left hand side of bike
pics
route first
through the rpm counter
down the left and onto the carbs
now this place for fitting the cable on top of carb
I hope in this pic you can see where I think it goes different to other 550s and 500s ?
pic showing what I am trying to connect
and lastly connected into this cradle but the wire going over the carbs which I am not convinced is correct so thought I would ask
mickwinf:
Mike you have got it wrong, the two throttle cables fit on the pulley similar to the older models, on your last pic you have the cable connected to the choke operating lever, the K3 has a cable operated choke, the choke cable fits to that lever from above.
MikeM:
so there are two holes in the pulley where I have the first cable ?
struggling to find the second hole....
LesterPiglet:
Zoom in on the pulley here. Looks like a hole right on the end.

matthewmosse:
the top cable runs quite a long way along that grove in the pulley and the hole / cutaway is a swine to get it in, especially if the cable inner snaps outside work, 20 miles from decent tools and in 4 inches of snow and frost - I gave up and just turned the idle screw right up. Look below the choke cable, on the pulley, long needle nose pliers with a double crank in them help, or it might have been a 90 deg bend set.
