Title: Custom Throttle cable
Post by: Clay Pitkin on July 17, 2012, 09:56:44 AM

I am in need of a custom throttle cable. I need it to go from the Geo Metro gas pedal, to (2) Mikuni flats slide carbs. I have both the necessary items for the Geo and the carbs, but have no way of splicing them together.

Is there any cable companies that will do this? Or is there a kit avail?

TIA
Clay

Nearly every motorcycle mfr makes 1:2 throttle cables with Mikuni ends.  The other end is a cyl of lead, sometimes a sphere of lead.  There is bulge in the middle of the cable about 1-3 feet from the carbs that is the 1:2 coupling.

Yamaha 650?  Honda 350?  Kawasaki 400 (twin?), there are a million of them.  Find out how long you need, then go to your local motorcycle junkyard.
