Re: Throttle or something

Do you have any S bends in the cables?,
if you do , disconnect at the engine and form into loop instead of "S".
That will the cable under tension and remove slop.

Re: Throttle or something

Is that where the cable is going,into the "s"? Is that cam that connects to cable supposed to be tight to move or real easy still confused...but will try to loop the cable ,again does the cable go somewhere when I put the control box all the way forward even if It doesn't move the throole cam:confused:
