Hi,
In the process of an engine swap. I went from FI to carbs. I was able to connect the accelerator cable to the pulley at the engine/carbs but at the pedal cluster the cable collapses. It looks like a Fork Bolt (Haynes parts breakdown) is supposed to slide over the cable somehow. Is that correct? My far-sightedness certainly makes it challenging! TIA Steve |

Thank you for clarifying the use of the tangerine system John.
Is is possible you wrapped the cable around the master pulley in the wrong direction? |

QUOTE(rhodyguy @ Jun 30 2016, 08:34 AM)  Thank you for clarifying the use of the tangerine system John. Is is possible you wrapped the cable around the master pulley in the wrong direction? I went over the top of the pulley. Basically I just copied what was already there. Part of the cable was there from when John sold it to me so I only had to loosen the set screw and install my existing cable. It was such a simple procedure I really didn't think it through, I had a little free time and wanted to finish one of the items on my list and that seemed so simple. I should've paid a little more attention and thought it thru before I started. My guess is, I have to go back to the pulley and take up some of the cable. Lesson here is don't take anything for granted! Thanks Steve |
