Technical Throttle cable laypout

[Chrismunn]

Good morning, can anyone forward on to me images of the cable layout from the under dash throttle control lever and its linkage with the accelerator cable please?

Also which of the holes in the rear bulkhead that the speedo cable passes through, and is this shared with either the clutch cable or choke / throttle a cable? Too many cables, but not enough holes...

Chris,

Here,s a link to a previous article in the forum to get you going. Thread it titled ' Speedo cable route'.

One final question, any images on how to connect the hand throttle to the accelerator linkage? I thought that I had that sorted but not so sure now....

Did you work out how to connect the hand throttle. Any pics or advice would be welcome

Cheers

Hi Geoff a late response but I am still working on a solution here, no progress at the moment.

I’m working on it today so if I can work it out I’ll let you know

Cheers Geoff, I am buried in wiring diagrams at the moment. Rapidly learning Italian !

Turns out my cable was broken and missing most of the cable seen in the following link

I decided not to connect it as I have survived without it for years anyway

It can be tricky to setup. The replacement I got was not as well-made as original (surprise or what!!?? . ) Getting it to clamp firmly in just the right place was tricky. Also, the sliding-loop of wire is poorly formed and I felt there was a danger that the mechanism could get snagged. A second attempt at setting it up which I undertook two years after disabling it has worked well. But I only ever use it to show it off.

I have that cable and will try to fit it this week. On another subject Geoff is your wiper switch a 3 stage one or only 2? The current one is 2 but the manual says 3, on, middle step is a short sweep and off.

Mine is just on or off
