Reply to "Throttle cable wisdom?"

LF-TP 2511:
While not completely familiar with the PI throttle cable, from what you are describing for the non incorporated spring on the throttle cable, as long as the cable is in a sheath and is held by some manifold bracket whereas it operates freely, the return spring would be mounted towards the rear of the manifold with a "pulling" action to close the carburetor.

I just installed the throttle cable as depicted in the picture yesterday. From what I see in the picture, I agree with Joules in that the spring nearest the bracket at the front of the manifold appears to be somewhat compressed. Where the throttle cable is connected to the carburetor and to the end of the spring, I have two inches of adjustment on a small threaded rod. I did work with the positioning of the bracket holding the spring at the front of the manifold to assure myself that I was not binding the cable, and that the spring was not compressed.
