Re: Throttle cable splitter/junction box question.
I couldn't help but notice this tidbit on page 2-5 of the manual:
"Do not disassemble the junction box of the accelerator cable assembly. Disassembling the box may upset the cable joints and cause the cable malfunction."
"Do not disassemble the junction box of the accelerator cable assembly. Disassembling the box may upset the cable joints and cause the cable malfunction."

Re: Throttle cable splitter/junction box question.
Have you found a cable set yet ?
I may have a few used ones here in NJ.

Re: Throttle cable splitter/junction box question.
Thanks for exploring this.
Was it difficult to identify the faulty cable without seeing it? I assume this is one of the throttle cables, and it either wouldn't open or wouldn't close right.
And can you speculate what problem the two-spring design solved? Was it to tolerate some conflict between the actuator and the throttle (such as in the hands of a rider who forgot the cruise was on)? Or maybe to tolerate some cable stretching? Or maybe a safety thing to allow closing the throttle no matter what?

Re: Throttle cable splitter/junction box question.
Thank You Very Much,Deep Thoughts,for your pictures and explanations of the cable splitter. 
I never took mine apart,but just replaced all my cables during "winter service' a couple years ago.
Way To Go on rebuilding the unit

Re: Throttle cable splitter/junction box question.
What I don't see in these photos is how the carburetor accelerator cable attaches to the junction box schtuff. I assume it attaches to the middle cam. Does it attach next to the pin affair -- hidden under the pin in most photos?
