Little Details Take So Much Time.

I spent hours on this throttle linkage. I made the bracket, cable clamp, arm, and arm pedestal. I used one of the springs off the original Predator throttle assembly for a return spring. It connects to a bracket screwed to the fan cover. I had to raise the tank about 3/8 of an inch to clear the cable and clamp. It works perfectly now, wide open when the pedal hits it's stop and idle when the pedal returns to normal position.

So why did you have to raise the tank 3/8"?Besides the obvious...the cable would not fit underneath??As that was to be my task today......work on throttle cable, brake cable, and brake lines.Anything to procrastinate further on the body build.Brian

The cable would fit under, but the block that holds the cable hit the corner of the tank when I put it back on. I could have made another bracketed to move it closer to the carb, but raising the tank was much easier.
