Welder's penetrate deeper!!
My throttle on my 71 is very touchy. It isn't advancing early, it just doesn't have enuf 'slop' in the throttle. My carbs are closing all the way, and some slop at the carbs, but it isn't enuf to be comfortable.
I adjusted the uppers by the throttle, adjusted the idle screws, but when I have enuf slop, it is unbalanced. Its a dual cable on unlinked early bs38's.
Last time I tested the ride, I almost hit tree. I was on gravel, and with the touchy throttle, when I grabbed the front brake, the throttle rolled a little as I puled the lever, and the bike's front almost washed out on me twice.
The cables I have are mikes replacement. Don't know if that helps, just putting it out there. there just doesn't seem to be enuf adjustment at the top. The cables are routed correctly, no weird bends or kinks.
What am I missing?
BTW, these replacement have the cover springs at the carb end, but looking at a set of originals, the original springs are a tighter coil than mikes. they look nice, but are not correct.
I have a set of original cables, last effort will be to put those back on and see if those will give me what I need.
