Accelerator cable not translating pedal movement to carb action Options

[Tdskip]

Hope everybody is having a good weekend and thanks in advance for any thoughts or suggestions.

I have it should be an easy problem to solve that I haven’t solved – I believe the accelerator cable that came in this project is simply too long because when the gas pedal is pressed the cable flexes to a point where the physical motion from the gas pedal doesn’t translate to the same pull on the carb linkage. In other words, the cable moves around enough that it doesn’t effectively pull the carburetor linkage to increase power.

I have a replacement cable, but before I go through that I wanted to ask to see if there’s something that maybe other people encountered or that comes to mind that I’m missing.

Cable has the red arrows pointing to it.

Thanks!

I would like to see the end where it connects to the linkage. My guess is it is too long.
I think you can a new end on the cable and solder it on or crimp, not sure but look for cable ends. The picture shown a cable that it looks like there is an adjustment. What does you connection point look like. Not my car shown
