Does anyone have a picture or a link to a picture of the bracket that the throttle cable mounts to? The 235 has the stock one barrell carb. Thanks | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,983 Sir Searchalot | | Sir Searchalot Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,983 | This? or This? A FAM might help. Here's one

That's exactly what I needed to see. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2014 Posts: 3,677 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2014 Posts: 3,677 | I have a related question. I have the bracket on top of carb and understand how that part works to secure the choke and hand throttle cables.
However, once you thread the hand throttle cable through the linkage rod, and secure the end with a cable stop....is there anything else that's supposed to hold the linkage rod to the carb's throttle lever? My truck used to have a small cotter pin through there, so that's the way I put it back together. But that seems to be incompatible and doesn't allow the hand cable to slide up and down. My short term solution is just skipping the hand throttle cable and putting the cotter pin in that hole.
Gotta be missing something. The hand cable stop doesn't seem sufficient to hold the linkage rod to the carb's throttle lever.

Many thousands of vehicles worked like this successfully for years. The cable stop only came into play when the hand throttle was used, hope that helps. | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,983 Sir Searchalot | | Sir Searchalot Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,983 | As 3B says, the stop/wire is the only thing holding link rod to lever so that the foot throttle can operate independent of the hand throttle. The "cable" is the whole thing. We need to say sheath and wire, maybe, if we need to be specific.

It was the "wire" that bound up originally. Not the entire cable assembly.
