Just picked up a 35mm from 99lrdblaster, question is will they hookup to the stock cable with the TORS removed????
Hey man you have to adjust the cable on top of the carb and in the throttle box. Yes shorten the stem by screwing it in, on both. I have mine on my 35pwk and have no problems.
I just looked at the top of the carb you have and mine is different, I dont have that 45 bend in mine just a straight threaded piece, Hmmmmm. Maybe that is a diffent cap? IDK
there isn't any adjusment, the thumb end isn't even hooked up. its gotta be the 45 on the stem. can I just shorten the stem or should I remove and tap it and get some brass fittings to come straight out the top?
Hmmm I'm not sure. I'm not sure how it fits up on there and don't really know what's going on. If you cut the bent portion and made it straight, how would that fix it? It makes me wonder how it worked on the dirtbike though. I'm guessing the brass portion just pops off and you might need to get a straight one. If that's what you need or whatever let me know and I can paypal you back whatever the cost of the part is. I never paid much attention to it and thought the bent sleeve would fit up just the same as the straight one because I've seen some bent ones on other swaps. :-/
99LRD, I think you are one of the most stand up guys I have ever met, dont worry about the money, I know you didnt mean for it not to work. Ive got a XR200 with some parts on it and it looks like it has a similar cable. I'll pull it off here in a minute and take a look at it, I think its got the cap and everything. I think I will be ok if I pop the stem out of the cap and tap it (if need be). Not only that but if its threaded I can adjust it, some teflon tape and its water tight! Got my fingers crossed I can get it all worked out! Ill get some pics up on a few hours. Thanks for everyones help though.
Ok, this is what I came up with, either you will this its innovating or ghetto!
Cap is tapped to 5/16ths, a hole through the bolt, counter sunk the head for the cable, and a jam nut! All RTV'd up with an extra boot over it. Ha, let me know what you think!

1st class Presidential Solution right there I:I home made cable adjuster. Keep an eye on it and keep an eye out for some kind of rubber boot for it just in case you end up with a problem.
Just so everyone knows,Pesidential Solution is politically correct for ...... rigging I:I
