Want more adjustment in your throttle cable?

I found the adjusment on the throttle cable sux....i had the carb cap all the way out, the adjusters at the grip all the way out and the 90* coming off the throttle out. I couldnt get the throttle tight where the slack was gone. If ive got some slack then the throttle isnt opening as far as it could/should.

Heres what i did to give me more adjustment in the throttle cable...

I pulled the cable from the plunger in the carb, pull the plunger, carb hat, and spring off. Then i took a regular female wire connector and removed the guts from the center. I fed the throttle cable through it and put everything back together like normal. The connector needs to be pushed hard into the adjuster on top of the carb hat. Now I have lots of adjustment and just enough play in the throttle to drop the engine back to idle. Pics show what I did....works good. The connector fits tightly inside the carb hat's adjuster so it stays put...

Nice tip....and color co-ordinated!

Nice air filter what brand name and where did you get it from????

This is a good one....Thanks IBCNYA! It was drivin' me nuts trying to get proper adjustment of the throttle cable. This fix leaves plenty of adjustment.
I didn't have the right size plastic electrical connector but I did find this piece in my junk box. I think it's an elec. conn. of some kind that someone might know what it is. (metal)
I hammered the hollow end over an allen wrench the same size as the adjuster on the carb hat. It fits nice and snug. The throttle cable end actually screws tight into the threaded side of the connector.

Swe---et I will bust out a wire connector shortly
