This is an going problem until you realize a couple of additional factors that will lead to a smooth operating cable. the first thing is the bracket that holds the cable should be as close as possible to level with the carb attachment point a little above the point but at half pedal the cable should be level, this will also insure you will get "full throttle". the other important thing is your return spring, it should be attached as close as possible to the carb pull location (like the same hole or right next to it)this will allow the return springs to pull in the opposite direction equally with the pull on the carb , this not only adds to the smooth feel but it
doesn't cause wear on your throttle shaft in
the carb. But I agree check out Lokar for the right cabel.

I have a new throttle cable from one of the vendors. It has the return spring built in at the carb end. The damn thing is so stiff I'm afraid I'm going to break the gas pedal! It doesn't seem to be binding anywhere? Has anyone else had this problem? Can the return spring be removed and use a aftermarket return spring? The original worked very easy!
