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!  |
