Reply to "Throttle cable wisdom?"

Team Hi, tx for comments, just crawled into it just now...it is always awesome to fire the NEW Panter up!

the whole set up is new, as all overhauled, just did 30 miles on my nice Panter.

Indication was:
1) the throttle cable /the lever at the carb did not get back to its end position.
2) the original "big sping" was already coil binding at the start due to probably the new Edel B. intake with different fixture position.

fixes & assumption
1) the carb was sitting for 3 years (during restoration) hence I assume its joint(s) are a bit stiff not going to end status easily
hence I added extra sting power to pull back...even TWO IN PARALLEL !!
2) The Edel B. has different location for the throttle cable fixture, hence I did SHORTEN THE BIG spring and LENGTHENED it (by pulling it out), well lost strength to it doing it

today I did adjust the ignition so the idle got better and well after heating the carb up now the 5th time the "carb joints" behave better in respect of getting back to base location. Idle now at 800. Nice. (see other thread I just opened)

I will take your advice to remove step by step the "EXTRA" force to get back to standard. . Shortening the big spring further and use a single spring for BACK UP safety only...

keep you posted.
