That's what I get for letting you ride my bike... You broke my throttle. Actually it was the Iso grip and where the cable end attaches. But I was the guy who rode it home that way.



Ha! Wasn't my fault! It was actually rewarding that I handled a "crisis" situation that well. ~55mph and losing all throttle and quickly pulling into the shoulder. I've never seen someones hand shake as bad as yours did when we got back though! Talk about muscle failure!

Take your Handy dandy medium duty needle nose and tweak the right cable holder (the gold colored bracket) so that the cable ends up directy above and straight shot into the cable end holder at the carb. Line em up nicely and it will be happy. Those gold brackets get mangled pulling and replacing carbs, are also easily adjusted for zero cable drag.

I am talking about the third picture. Tweak the part holding the cable that has the two 10mm nuts over a tad.



Thanks Dinqua!!! Sometimes it takes hearing a learned hand to get the gull up to do some things.

So last night I sat out there for a while w/ the needle nose pliers and just bent and fit over and over again till I was happy. So now, there is no more rubbing!

I just wish I knew how long this had been going on. The cable seems to be in okay shape. There was one strand (I mean one hair sized strand) that had broke and there is a crease or two in the cable but the overall integrity looks okay.
