Throttle cable problems

Tcams · #1 11-21-2009, 05:10 PM

At WOT the engine would bog and then come back bog and then come back. Also my throttle wasnt twisting smoothly like It should so I decided to take it apart and see. I noticed the lil wattayacall it that holds the throttle in place broke off (shouldn't be a problem). When I went to put it all back together I cant seem to get the throttle cable right. I think its too losse.It keeps come out of the throttle housing and getting caught at the end. How should I fix this problem. When twisting the needle back down, how far should I twist it? What should I be cautious about not doing?

Help me out!!
Thanks

I was messing with it again and I think i got somewhere. I think

The first two pictures is what the cable looks like. How do I tighten it so It doesnt come out of the throttle housing when I twist the throttle.

In the thrid picture, Is that where the slide is supposed to be when the throttle is not engaged??

And the fourth picture. I took off the intake manifold and one of the rods didnt come out with the nut. How do I get it the rod out? or are the rods supposed to stay in the cylinder and I unscrewed the other rod by accident??

This is SO frustrating when I dont really know what Im doing. Anyways can someone try and help me.

Thanks again

sounds like you have your throttle (twist handle part) assembled wrong, it has a stop built in, if you dont get it back together right the cable will be to long. The stud (threaded part)for the intake is supposed to stay in

Thank you saulsvilleb
Is that were the slide is supposed to be when the throttle is not engaged?

It should go down until it bottoms or very close to the brass jet just below it, there is pin inside the carb barrel that aligns with a slot in the slide, do you have it right, if you have it right the slide should move freely,make sure its not sticking

In the third picture..thats how far it goes down. Is that normal??? and yeah everything is aligned up right..its smooth and doesnt stick.

It should go down further, It looks like the cable end is stopping it from going all the way down, it should be up in a slot on the bottom of slide

Is your slide in backwards or upside down?

Once you get it to sit down in there right, it should take up the slack on the cable.
You can use the top of the carb to help adjust out any slack as well.

Joe...I dont think the slide is backwards. I actually got everything back together by the end of the night.

I just screwed the c-clip all the way down to the bottom. Im not sure where I had it before. Where is a good place to start it off at?

i wrap black tape around where the cable comes out of the top.
the rods are suposed to stay in.
