Thottle cable fireblade carbs on zetec
bob - 13/4/07 at 07:00 PM

OK the fireblade carbs are up and running on the zetec, now to the throttle cable of which i have no prblem making up.

BUT

The carbs sit high on the zetec head making top entry to the carbs a very tight radius for the cable, i need some input from other blade carb users on CEC's please.

I'm thinking it might be possible to feed the throttle cable from underneath but i'm having a bit of trouble getting my head around it, any pics or ideas very much appreciated.

bobski,does the levers need to be pulled up to open throttles>if so hows about extending the lever the other side of the spindles so they could be pulled down....if ya get what i mean

I will investigate these thoughts tomorow my friend

Bob i don,t know if blade carbs are the same but on zx9r carbs the cable will go from top or bottom

Cheers jacko, just had a chat with conrod and i think i might have it sorted now, well in my head anyway

can you not use a similar system as on bike cables, make a tight bend with tube and fix between outer cable and original cable sleeve anchor?

Yup, if i cant access from the underneath then the 90 deg tube option was next.

Thanks very much for the replies
