Re: throttle cable help

hello,just put a new carb on with the same
problem,my cable had the eye.for now with a little
force the eye popped over the ball,,then i put a (slip on clip i call them)
over the stud so it was in between the cable and ball just to be
sure it didnt pop off.works fine for now till i find new cable.

Re: throttle cable help

Doorman Products inc. That company sold the correct cable, when I sold auto parts for a living (1970's). I don't have a link, but googling might bring up the company, and perhaps an on-line catalog. Once a part number is known, a "GOOD" auto parts store should be able to order the item. It sure sucks, having to do the legwork for these new auto parts people.

After they get fired from the parts house they go to work at W**-M***. My brother is a manager for that company.
