So is the "OEM" throttle cable Pelican sells just crap? Or am I doing something wrong? Is the Terry cable worth twice the price? This is the third cable I've had to replace in less than a year ... seems to be kinking somewhere between the pedal and the firewall even though I made 110% sure its not binding on the clutch cable. Now my car is carbed and you have to pump the pedal for a minute or two when starting it cold, so maybe I'm just putting the cable through too much stress. Anyone make a fly by wire system for a carbed 914? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) |

QUOTE(Dr Evil @ Aug 21 2009, 12:03 AM)  How is the ground strap on your transmission? I second that emotion. Often the engine seeks the accelerator cable as its ground, heating the cable to slight melt and then it gets stiff and sticks. R&R the transmission ground strap make sure it is not unwound and or greenish, clean both surfaces to brilliant and replace tightly |
