Title: Throttle linkage question.......
Post by: djfrankv on February 23, 2013, 06:30:47 PM
Hey Guys! Im proud to say I got my carbs back from RPM Randy yesterday. He cleaned them and rebuilt them for me and they look awesome! Im trying to install them back on the bike and Ive hit a snag! I cant for the life of me figure out how to get both throttle cables from the linkage back on! Its absolutely driving me insane!. Is this a two man job? Anybody have any tricks or can steer me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.   :flag_of_truce:

Frank, just got off the phone with ya, you should be good go. Post up when your tricked out 84 is running again. Then we can balance the carbs and get the Kookaloo on...

Thanks for all your help Mark...everything worked out great! Got the carbs installed...put the fuel tank back on and after a few tries...she fired up and with new IRIDIUM spark plugs. The transformation was amazing! Perfect throttle response, and now she idles like a kitten! I can't wait to take her out for a longer ride...maybe tomorrow before going to work. This Forum is the best ever!

and for those that were still wondering how,, easy way to mount the cables is to fit them before installing the carbs

It only took me once to figure that out! It's a thousand times easier.
