Bike Carb Throttle Cable?
Can anyone describe (with pictures
 ) how I connect a throttle cable from my bike carbs to the pedal box? Also will the throttle cable out of my donor work or is there something more specific I need?

To connect the throttle of my bike carbs I used a bicycle gear change cable. It already had a moulded on nipple at one end, I bought a solderless nipple for the other.
I drill through a bolt which was screwed into the back of the pedal box to hold the cable outer.  I then had a friend make a fitting to attach it to the pedal. This is able to rotate in the pedal.  The carb end outer is then fixed in a cable adjuster, with the nipple fitted to the carbs. I used an extra spring to get a bit more positive action on the throttle closing as I found it a bit lazy.

That does help loads thanks dave
Few questions though: On your 3rd picture showing the cable attached to the carbs, are those all just bolts with the center's drilled out like in your 1st picture? What size bolts did you use and drill the holes in them to? Again in your last picture, I take the cable coming off the carb on the right side (without the spring) I take it this goes down to the pedal box? How did you route it? Does it just go straight down at a 180 degree?

Hopefully you can see the route in the below picture.
 On the carbs the cable seats in a proper cable adjuster. All the others are ordinary bolts just drilled through. I think from memory they were 6mm bolts with a 3mm hole to suit the cable.

Ah cool that helps to see the route. Next question being where'd you get the spring from and what size/desc was it? Also any ideas if there's an off the shelf version of the thing that goes on the pedal that your mate made?
