mrmatt Posted December 31, 2003 Report Posted December 31, 2003 Sometimes I feel like I'm all thumbs when trying to connect the trottle cable back onto the slide. I have trouble keeping the spring compressed and out of the way. But, I found a way to do this and avoid the frustration. Before attempting to put it back together I compress the spring and put a couple of tie-wraps around it to keep it compressed. Then I put the compressed spring over the cable and hook the cable end into the slide. Then I install the keeper and cut the tie-wraps and its done. Quote

spoin39 Posted December 31, 2003 Report Posted December 31, 2003 The guy is a friggin genius! I'll have to try that next time! Quote
brock_fuzzy_69 Posted December 31, 2003 Report Posted December 31, 2003 i know a guy who does the saem thing with small valve springs on 4 strrokes he clamps em down in the vice and attaches the zip ties then cuts em after he has the retainer and locks on top of it Quote
locogato11283 Posted January 3, 2004 Report Posted January 3, 2004 i always use a pair of needle nose pliers. just put them on the cable and puch it all the way to the carb top. i always use a pair without any cutters on them, wouldnt wanna cut the cable. Quote

Wassup350 Posted January 4, 2004 Report Posted January 4, 2004 That's an awsome idea!!! All that time fussing with my stupid throttle springs, i could have known that, but now i do, THANKS!!! Quote
Atvrider_96 Posted January 6, 2004 Report Posted January 6, 2004 shit why couldn't i know this yesterday when i was raising the needle Quote
MILO Posted January 6, 2004 Report Posted January 6, 2004 great idea. i'll have to try it next time. maybe my wife won't laugh so much from hearing me cussing and bitching in the garage. Quote
mcaf29 Posted January 6, 2004 Report Posted January 6, 2004 That just made rejetting the needle so much easier!!! It has always been a tie between the chain adjust and the carb spring for the "Holy stupid F'n engineer award". Quote
Guest evildead Posted January 6, 2004 Report Posted January 6, 2004 I do the same thing, except i use twist ties instead of zip ties, easier to take off and put on. Quote
