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 |

I can add more description of this engine being set up with tangerine cable throttle system.
Did you check with Chris is he uses stock throttle cable or maybe something different. Sounds like you need to shorten it up. |

Steve, We probably did the original installation for John so he doesn't have a copy of the installation instructions. I'll email you a copy. There should be very little slack on the cable when it's installed properly. |
