Can't get throttle cable on the carb

Post by Vdriveboater »

Does anyone have a good way to get the "throttle opening" cable onto the carbs (I'm reinstalling them after inspection/cleaning)? I just spent an hour and a half trying to do this, with the throttle blades fully open and without first installing the airbox, and I can't get it in there. :tho: I'm thinking there must be some kind of trick that I'm not doing, it shouldn't be this difficult. The throttle closing cable will be easy peasy by comparison.

Surgical hemostat to hold and stretch cable in.
