I can see where the housing gets clamped but I can't tell where the cable actually attaches. ...should be pretty dang obvious too. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 6,377 Ex Hall Monitor | | Ex Hall Monitor Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 6,377 |

I'll have to check again tonight as there were beverages involved last time.  [edit] This is a pic of my old vs. new carb. Doesn't look like it attaches like the W1 you posted. http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c...0Truck/2011-11-22163702.jpg?t=1322060081 | | | | | Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 Extreme Gabster | | Extreme Gabster Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 | No it doesn't. The cable goes through the hole in the rod that looks like a cotter pin hole. The clamp then attaches to the cable. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 940 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 940 | Yep. I found the same answer while you were posting. http://vcca.org/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/180454/39_Master_Deluxe_Throttle_CablThe throttle cable is mounted exactly the same for either a Carter or Rochester carburetor. They both use the same Y shapped holder that it fastened under a bowl cover screw on top of the carb. One end holds the choke cable (horizontal) and the other the throttle cable (verticle). The holder clamps around the outter part of the cable. Then the wire extends downwards and runs through the hole in the throttle rod whch keeps the rod attached to the lever on the car. (you probably have a cotter pin in there now)....Then you need a throttle stop fastened to the wire just below the lever. This will pull up the lever when the hand throttle is pulled out. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 940 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 940 | | | | | | Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 2,393 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 2,393 | While the Classic Parts Throttle Stop is dirt cheap, you can save yourself some time and shipping cost by purchasing one at any lawn mower dealer.

Also, its been suggested to take a pair of needle nose pliers and put a small bend/hook in the extra line after the stop just in case, so you never lose the stop if it comes loose. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 4,263 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 4,263 | Here is a pic of my carter set up ...pic...

I have everything else but that piece and have not been able to find one. Thanks. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 940 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 940 | Looks like a keeper pin hole doesn't it. Yep. Where did you find the metal piece that snaps on to the throttle linkage? I have everything else but that piece and have not been able to find one. Thanks. The small clip that holds the rod in place? Not sure, didn't find one doing a quick search a few suppliers. ...I've had a lot of luck finding these little odd parts at ACE Hardware. This seems like a pretty standard piece for any type of linkage. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 4,263 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 4,263 | try your local auto parts that have DORMAN supplies Rock Auto ...click... Im not sure if that Dorman kit 41016 has the correct part but might be worth a try. I got one from a rebuild kit I purchased from carbking. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 378 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 378 | Hey, me too.
