Help getting extra throttle cable slack

Post by Spargett » Mon Nov 10, 2008 4:57 am

I put on a set of new carbs today and everything went pretty smooth. The problem is that the throttle cable on the left carb is super tight. It was pain to latch the cable into the valve due to the lack of slack.

Now, the main problem is that I've unscrewed the nut near the grip all the way, but there is till a 1/2" gap in the valve, leaving a rather large opening. The right carb is fine with plenty of slack on the cable.

Any ideas as to what's causing this, or tips to fix the problem?

Open the junction and put the end into the splitter. ...............lm
