Throttle Cable Slack

[Longview]

I got a new throttle cable today, but when i went to put it on it has way to much slack once i connect two ends, So i have like half a Centimeter when I push the thumb throttle. I know I'm probably doing something obvious. But i don't really know what. I know its the right cable. So whats going on here? :-/

You can adjust the tension of the cable with the threaded end going into your throttle housing. Twisting it out will make it tighter, twisting it in will make it loose. In this case, twist it out until you find no slack when you push the throttle in. Remember to secure it with the added nut, tighten it to the throttle housing

Even with the threaded end with one thread in, it still has too much slack! :-/

Aftermarket Carburetors also have a slack-adjustment on top of them. Are you sure its backed all the way out?
