Throttle cable doesn't fit

Post by Ulele »

Hy
Just to introduce myself as a new member on this board: I am Volker and living on the westcoast of norway.
The last weeks I fettled on my old 100 century long shaft from the end of the sixties. I took everything in parts and cleaned it up before I reassembled everything in my livingroom again. The piston was grown together with the cylinder so I pressed it out with a hydraulic press. That was mostly the only problemI had. I ordered some new parts where it was necessary. So I ordered also a new throttle cable.
Teh cable is delivered without the small tube that is sitting between the black outer tube and the throttle control lever. The one from the old cable is in good condition but doesn't fit over the end of the cable. I hope the photos will help.
What is it what I am doing wrong?

Regards: Volker

Welcome to the funny farm!

Can you remove the the bit off the end of the new cable? it may be the difference between Imperial and metric?

Others may be able to help better.

I would suggest the wrong cable?

OR

At the carb end decrease the height of the adjuster to zero (all the way down). This will give more inner cable for you to work with at the throttle end.

At the throttle end you should be able to find a split along the insert thru which the inner cable can be guided.

Then if you have a compatible throttle assy all will be revealed.

Adjust the slack back at the carb.

Good luck, send more pics as we just love pics aye!
