k3 throttle cable pulley

<< < (2/4) > >>

MikeM:
so is the 2 holes close to each other ? and not one on each end of pulley

also does then the top cable reach to furthest away hole

I think I need to go outside and look at mine (tomorrow) I'm struggling to recall exact details but it was a bit confusing or counter intuative. Might the long cable pass under the pulley thing and have a fairly long slot? I'm struggling to recall which set of carbs did what, having had 500 and 550k3 carbs on my regular bike.
Just to add, studying the cnsl pic in the link, and wracking my addled beer soaked brain, the long cable I'm sure goes under the carbs and you hook it into that slot that can be seen at the back of the pulley, then the short cable is running over the top which I think is how you have it. I'm afraid my laptop screen is a wreck so pictures are often a blur of red and green in places.

If you send your email address I can send you a 550k3 supplement which has lots of info and photos about the carbs.

On my k3 carbs the cable runs short over the top, long under the spindle and up the back of the pulley, the round cutout holds the top cable, bottom slot that follows the perimeter of the pulley - end result puts the ends of the cable about 40 mm appart I'd geuss. I think I also figured out why the bike conked out when last used as all the cables are off. Silly reason for a bike to get laid up for years!

mickwinf:
this pic from the US site might help. The bottom cable nipple goes in the slotted part near to the hole for the top cable, not obvious at first look.
