Help, throttle cable.....

[510 Bomber]

so i must post nothing but HELP posts. but i took my motor out. sealed it up. and put it back in. took WAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYY to long. but i work alot. it was a great deal of fun and learning.

 

sooooo my buddy took off my throttle cable without me knowing. and now when i put it back on, it just hangs.

can someone take a pic of theirs for me? i have a L20b motor. would help me out alot. also pumpkn210 said theres an adjustment, but ill check that out in the morning.

 

thanks for the help.

Are you talking about on the carb or at the pedal? What carb is it? oh and oics are great.

im holding the cable in place.

That metal end just above your thumb is clamped to a holder that appears to be missing.

 

Should look somewhat like this, although several types were used on the 620. In the picture below the screw and a small piece is missing that grips the cable end.

alrite, i found that part. it was in the pan i cleaned my motor over. put that part on.

left my battery on charge. then cranked that baby over. it runs. buttttt........ it revs high, smokes from around the intake area.....and theres a knock when i drive it.

 

well fuck. atleast it runs, i guess. now waitin for my bro to come home and he could help me out.

What did you do to the motor? Valve adjust may be needed.

[510 Bomber]

resealed it. it was leakin like a bitch. the rear main was the biggy.

but it doesnt leak oil ne more. thats one good part

Does if over rev or just run fast.. maybe just your choke being on

 

Or does it rev high without cable hooked up? maybe just mis adjusted

Choke on with fast idle or throttle cable not adjusted right.... make sure it has a slight bit of slack and isn't holding the carb open.

 

Smoke is just oily hand prints or residual cleaner/splashed oil burning off.... it will go away.

 

Knock, like a hammer hitting a hunk of wood or more like a sharp tap???? If it wasn't knocking before it shouldn't be now.
