Can you fix throttle cable to the carb without taking off tank?? And if so how...???
Just bought nice xs400 had to do a few things to get the rwc. Brake lights not working etc etc same with front lights. The throttle grip was rotten thru and the cable itself was problematic. The small screw end was off the cable. I found it lying on the engine. No ability for throttle to work.
How does one properly fix the throttle cable to the carb?
Do you do it with the screw end already tied off?
Do you thread the cable first thru the top guide slot then into bottom lever without the screw end then thru the screw end with the lever pushed up??
It looks real easy to figure out if you have the tank off, but I have never had the tank off... and I dont want to dig deeper and open a can of worms just yet if possible.
