Just got to the last jobs and am fitting the control cables. Got all new cables from Silvers, all genuine except for the throttle cables that aren't available. When I tried to fit the throttle 'pull' cable, the nipple on the carb end is too small diameter and will not stay located. The inner cable also appears to be too long as all the adjusters are on max and its still loose. See pictures.
Has anybody encountered this before. The end should be the same as the 400F with the cable length longer to accommodate the higher handlebars.
Also has anybody got a diagram for the correct cable runs. Thanks.

There is a diagram for the 400 showing the cable runs in the CB400F Dealer Setup Instructions, a copy of
which can be found in Ash's Dropbox. Guessing the 350 will be similar.

Cheers Chris. Any ideas on the small location nipple thingy?

Just been emailed with an answer. Looks like the location hole for the cable nipple is either very worn or has been drilled out by the PO. That doesn't explain why the cable inner is too long though.
A possible solution is to open it up to 8mm and cut the inner cable to length and solder on a new 8mm nipple.
These old Honda's can sometimes be a pain, or should that be the previous owners are a pain.
