[QUOTE="Walt, post: 593399, member: 18070"] So swapped the broken accelerator cable for a new one the other day. At the time I noticed it was slightly shorter. Anyway today finally got to take the van out but as soon as I started it the revs went full on. Guess the cable was too tight/short? So I swapped it for another longer different one (from heritage) that had an extra foot of cable but also the carb end of the cable had a thick flattened S shape attached. Now have the new cable fitted but how does it attach to the twin carb linkage? My old cable had a thick piece of metal that threaded into a hole on the small removable cylinder with a screw going into it. I have threaded the new cable into this hole but the screw doesn't thread far enough into the cylinder to lock the cable tight? As a temporary fix I thought about bulking the hole out with spare cable. [/QUOTE]
