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.

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