60’s Choke and Throttle Cables

[Racinbob 11,569]

I've always had issues with a very short throttle throw from idle to full on the 161's and 181's. This was my fix.

@WHX??  take advantage of  any tiny holes in related areas , like cable pull point  to , movement  cam shaped spot , all my cables have a light extension spring  pull , on return , experiment with function / reaction . combo of lube and spring pull  is a no brainer . think about it , every time you pull the  cable , the spring is enhancing , its function , lube insures it . do your own testing on a problem spot , thats how I started , cables make no dragging noise , verify every  change , have to warn you , once you  correct a chronic  issue , you  might try similar detailing  , on another spot , my pto lever engage ments are  ridiculously , smooth silent / easy  , none of related clutch facings are  burned out , pete   

Pete I spray white lithium grease in housing and on cable for smooth action.

Very interesting set up.

@Retired Wrencher  always look over a  chronic issue  on its INTENDED  FUNCTION  , usually very close  in its setting , on my cable set ups , regularly add a LIGHT  PULL TO CLOSE EXTENSION SPRING ?  think about it , every time you engage the  dash area , pull  , move point  , there is spring assist  in its movement , to close . my experimental  problem / functional control , was a step by step gain , initially , internal  super lube oil . eliminated drag , spring pull to close , made it  simple , smooth , easy . found a small piece  of perforated , metal gave me a go to spring  pull point  . have the same set up on my 3 horses . the repetition  of a problem , shows  me the way .  you can always  paint an improvement  RED , so it disappears , pete

@Retired Wrencher  , found so many  elimination fixes / changes that were , basically  firming up and lubricating  movement , its stupid easy , one of my favorites is the PTO lever  engagement starting point  / and related  hand off areas . initial look see , to change , barely showes it , love a CHRONIC ISSUE , done more with  washers , routing, lubrication and usually  a spring added to enhance initial movement  engagement , stop  buzzing vibration , outer pto cone , clip lever  connection  buzzing  / noisy  set up , small extension spring  , makes it all good , all of our units are different , yet  basically  the same idea . my  mule drive is so smooth  / easy in its function , and been that way for years , and the detailing  that changed it , was washer / lubrication based , not going to get into a have to win deal , always look for , RELATED , OPPORTUNITES , thats how I see it ,  WHAT IF I TRIED  THAT ?  stay happy , pete
