RE: I hate 4 stroke throttle linkages
I use the screw connectors also. Just add a little solder to the cable , where the screw grips , then when you tighten the screws down , gives it something to bite into. your throttle arm on the carb , can be just about up against the firewall and still works great
Picture worth a 1000 words , so I try to get you some picks , while I`m out in the shop tomorrow .
