It runs great, but I can't figure out how to install the choke cable. I see where the cable terminates, in the brass block with the set screw, but can't find where the cable clamps to. Also where does the throttle return spring go? I don't see any obvious location. carb linkage pic 1 carb linkage pic 2 | | | | | Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 1,820 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 1,820 | You have to find the correct combination cable clamp that attaches to the carb under the rear right screw (as it sits on the carb) which is one of the four screws that holds the top on the carb. The clamp has two places to clamp both cables to it so it will function on the carb. You just need use one carb for choking and throttling.

Some have a bracket for one cable & some have a bracket that supports a throttle cable also. The spring goes on a hook on the verticle rod under the manifold down to a bracket under an oil pan bolt.

I only have one cable (choke) and the throttle rod going to the carb. I don't have either the choke cable/bracket or the spring bracket down at the oil pan. What do they look like and where can I find them? | | | | | Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 Riding in the Passing Lane | | Riding in the Passing Lane Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 | Put an ad in the parts wanted section. There are plenty of them around.

I know the choke cable, but what is the other one? Does it need to be hooked up? | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | Farmer - 2nd cable is the hand throttle, not needed if you don't want it
