Paulie B Posted December 22, 2012 Report Posted December 22, 2012 I'm running a tors eliminator cable and it won't let my 32mm Mikuni carbs bottom out. There is plenty of slack at the top of the cable but it looks like the section of cable that is split in 2 is too short? What's my problem? Quote
vulvafan537240 Posted December 22, 2012 Report Posted December 22, 2012 are you adjusted to the max at the carb tops? Quote
Paulie B Posted December 22, 2012 Author Report Posted December 22, 2012 The caps are adjusted to max travel. Quote
camatv Posted December 22, 2012 Report Posted December 22, 2012 stock throttle cable wont open to far yes your right the plastic part in the middle is too short buy a longer cable,. the torrs cabe ( for the tops) center section is a lil longer. you might be able to switch them out i ahve done that before.

Paulie B Posted December 22, 2012 Author Report Posted December 22, 2012 I think I've found a solution without spending more $ but no doubt I would get clowned for it. What is your recommendation for a replacement cable? Thanks for chiming in BTW sir. Quote

Sorry I just re-read your post. I will buy a tors cable thanks! Quote
vulvafan537240 Posted December 23, 2012 Report Posted December 23, 2012 i use the motion pro tors delete cable with my pwk's and my slides open and close fully. had to grind on the housing of the thumb throttle to let the lever move all the way out though. Quote
Paulie B Posted December 23, 2012 Author Report Posted December 23, 2012 Yeah it doesn't make since that my cable won't work. Maybe I got some odd bay ebay cable or something. Maybe round slides require more travel then flat slides? I just ordered a motion pro tors cable. I gottah get this thing in the dirt mang! Quote
Paulie B Posted January 1, 2013 Author Report Posted January 1, 2013 *SOLVED* I used a mini tubing cutter and cut approx 1/8" off the ends. Full travel now! Figured I'd update this incase someone else runs into the same problem...PB Quote
thebrittishguy Posted January 1, 2013 Report Posted January 1, 2013 Thanks for the update. Also having a similar issue here with flatslides. This is helpful. Sent from my OMNIA7 using Board Express Quote
Paulie B Posted January 1, 2013 Author Report Posted January 1, 2013 You got it boss. Just remember to cut them both EXACTLY the same. The tubing cutter makes this easy as long as your measurements are the same. I bought the tors cable like cam said but the ball ends wouldn't work with my slides. Quote
