Well, the big red I got for free a few weeks ago lives!! I ordered an aftermarket carb for it and it finally came in. Slapped her on and she fired right up with the help of some starter fluid. The stock throttle cable wouldn’t screw into the new carb. The threads are way smaller than the ones on the stock carb but it had enough slack to fit in for now. She idles a little high which is probably due to the cable not being tightened down into the side of the carb. The choke cable also wouldn’t properly fit into the boot that came on it so I don’t have a choke right now either (probably why I had to crank it with starter fluid). But she runs like a top and no smoke. But I figure it will run just fine once I get the cable situations straightened out.
But I have what could be a dumb question. Can I get a throttle cable to fit this new carb fairly easily??
Attached is a photo I took yesterday of my new labradoodle pup “Hank” sitting in his new riding spot. My 11 year old lab died last week so I had to go ahead and get a new sidekick.
