Throttle cable

[geoffreywh]

I am modifying a 230 to use air operated throttle. I'm having issues with uneven friction in the original system. Having a look inside the engine bay revealed that the distance between the end of the throttle cable adjuster and the butterfly operating lever on the carb is about 30mm at its closest point. As the butterfly lever moves through an arc the cable rubs REALLY badly on the end of the threaded adjuster at mid throttle. Much less rubbing takes place at full or closed throttle. My question is :- are all sixes like this or is it just the one I am working on?.................It's going to rub through some wires eventually. As the cable is about 3.5 mm or more thick it will take some time...Can anybody have a look at theirs for me? Thanks, Geoff

Don't worry about it, A gentle bend of the (already bent) mounting bracket lines the cable up sufficiently to stop me worrying...
