Kirby216 7 #1 Posted November 11, 2023 To those whom have engine swapped there wheel horses and cudnt just clip in the end of the throttle cable. What did you fabricate to make the original cable still work??? This what I created but it's not working like I had hoped. Got any ideas??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peter lena 8,611 #2 Posted November 11, 2023 @Kirby216 how does the cable move by itself , with nothing attached to it ? smooth easy ? stiff binding ? if you can separate one from the other you can zero in on the issue , been using super lube https://www.amazon.com/Super-Lube-51004-Synthetic-Viscosity/dp/B000UKUHXK/ref=asc_df_B000UKUHXK/?tag=hyprod-2 local H/W store about $7 , soak cable till it comes out the other end , check into the , spring / bracket , movement function , red aerosol spray grease , on that bolt stud area , will help . looks very simple , cable bind or bracket hang up , also note the end of cable pull , could be loosing pull point , with no stop to cable lift stop, try a simple bend at cable to bracket , to trap pull point . pete Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Handy Don 12,214 #3 Posted November 11, 2023 (edited) You need to create a “Z-bend” on the end of the wire core. You can get or make a special plier, but you can also do it with a strong needle nose and a regular plier. Google for YouTube demo videos! That said, looking at the way that linkage is set up, it doesn’t look like anything I’ve seen before. Is that “T” gadget a fabrication?

gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,040 #4 Posted November 11, 2023 I would think the cable should pull the governor spring straight away from the governor lever. It is now pulling from 90 degrees to the spring. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Handy Don 12,214 #5 Posted November 11, 2023 (edited) The goal of the throttle lever/cable is to put tension on the governor arm via the spring. With no pressure, the governor will fully open the throttle for starting and then hold it at idle once the engine is running. Your task is to translate the lever/cable movement into appropriate tension. Given that this is a mashup, it’ll take experimentation.

Kirby216 7 #6 Posted November 11, 2023 I haven't put a dog leg bend in the end of the Cable yet because it's not set in stone how it's gonna work. I know I need to change it from the 90 to straight but I need a bracket that my brain hasn't cooked up yet to make this work. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
