i need to see your setups used to hook up the throttle cable, mine is rigged but not the way i want it.
info on parts would be a great help too.

what i want to see is the cable and the bracked on the carb you hooked the cable too.

thanks in advance!

 

Here's a few....

 

jose thanks a million, can you link me to the place you got that bracket on the carb, mine is completley different on my 48dco.

 

Here's mine on my rx2- weber 47. I used a carb return spring bracket from a Chevy-Ford 4 barrel carb at Autozone. I just cut the end off and mounted it on my carb horn bolt. It works great. Alot of guys are using alternator brackets and are bending them to work, however I dont' like the way that looks. This way is much cleaner. Good luck.

 

Here you go....

I have not seen that type of linkage on a side draft before. All the one's I've had were similiar to the stock Nikki one. Try Pierce Manifolds for parts.

i had mine that high before and the throttle was only opening about 3/4 of the way, i would investigate and make sure your throttle is opening all the way

I've been looking at a few of these threads about mounting the throttle cable, but I haven't seen any pictures addressing the "slack" in the line. I know there is no slack when you get that throttle bracket set up, but I mean the line itsself, it's quite long. Do you guys use a different throttle cable or just deal with the length?

 

Trochoid is right. the linkage piece I see used most is this one..http://www.piercemanifolds.com/product_p/45041.063.htm

 

With the linkage that Installer67 posted, there should be little if any slack. Using the stock cable holder there's enough adjustment to take up any slack. If you're setup is like the 2nd pic, there should be no problem either.

I just deal with the length. If you are talking about the length of the cable from the
firewall forward that is. If you need the throttle cable itself shorter, you can do
something like what I did (I needed it longer, but works both ways) and go to a
bicycle shop. Get a hand brake cable and the right "head" on it and it works
perfectly. Got a 6' cable and sheath from them for under $4, and just cut it to fit.
