Guess I'll call tomorrow for replacement and get some throttle cables. My return cable is broken also

loctite

Hi Ray, I was sent to loctite seminars through where I worked. If you don't clean the bolt with electrical contact cleaner and the bolts before you apply the loctite it will not harden properly as it is an anerobic which hardens in the lack of air (oxygen). Even if you touch the threads of the bolt with your fingers the oil from your fingers is enough to screw up the bond. Hope this helps!:flag:

I have 2 throttle/return that are yours if you want them. They were Harley cables so I had to use a longer butterfly adapter on my carb. They are in great condition but I bought new cables just to go back to the originals and don't plan on using them.

I always used Lacquer Thinner or brake cleaner to get rid of the oil and whatever else was in the threads, but it also leaves a white film. I'll have to try some electrical juice. Thanks

I agree with Franco that is good to know. :2thumbs:

Oh, Captain America ,,,unless you pull your boat with a jeep cherokee and it is in Tennessee. I saw it this morning at the Waffle House off of I-40. If you had your boat at home you could lean Raywood's scoot up against the boat and free up your truck. :D

As usual I repaired his scoot this morning and he is no where to be found. Hes my bro and I love him but he can be a real jackazz sometimes.

What did you do with my bike? I had Carmen here so that is a good excuse to not come to work! :)
