Throttle cable

[waffenampt]

Been having problems with my throttle cable after taking off the carbs. After I put the bike back together and fired it up it had a high idle. After looking at the throttle cable where it attaches to the carb I knoticed the outside of the cable and the nutscrew adjuster that threads into the carb arent togther. Are the cable and the adjuster at the carb one piece or does the cable just slip in there?

Usually the cable jacket is crimped into the nut to hold it. I'd dap a little contact cement or Crazy Glue in there and put the cable jacket back in the nut.

I would replace it, it's cheap and in effect being damaged that way, your cable is too short. Repalce it and you will get that extra 1/4" you need.

Either of the above will fix it, but it definately needs attention. Which path you choose all depends on your current budget constraints. Replacing the cable is the RIGHT answer, but if you just can't swing it right now the superglue and trying to squeeze the crimp a little tighter once the cable in back inside might just hold it for a while until you can get a new cable.
