    1986 honda big red carb

    I replaced my Big Red carb with a new one from Wincycles on eBay, and now my throttle cable has a lot a slack in it. Is there any think I could do to take up slack in it?

    there is a adjustment nut where the cable mounts to the carb and also the throttle has one under the rubber cover where the cable comes out

    SO if I remove the carb & lengthen the threads @ the carb it should tighten the cable ? I adjusted the one under the boot but it made no difference, so maybe if I try it at the carb & boot it will take up the slack.

    Good- you got it adjusted at both ends... Dont worry about a little slack left-its actually supposed to have some. The Honda Manual states : 1/8''-1/4'' free play for this model.
