Putting linkert back on Pan and throttle push pull backwards

#1

Post by OLD WUN »

I bought this '65 Panhead and it had a Zenith carb on it. Pulled it off and the manifold and the throttle cable. Starting to put the Harley parts back on, lucky the guy had it all in a box saved. So now I am hand holding the linkert M74b up in place and research shows linkage is correct I think. But now the issue. Not sure how to attach the cable to the linkage, and Twist it and that shuts it off, back it off and that gives it gas, what the heck. Will try to post pick of this held in place. Any idea on this?? Any pics please post.

You're missing the cable block on top of your throttle lever, you can pick them up for about $10.00 on ebay, also if you're throttle is turning clockwise to open your throttle, you have the wrong spiral in your handlebars

I thought about the spiral grip issue but the grip with it looks to be the original one? I did not really know there were other spiral options. Will look into the cable block item.

You're missing the cable bracket that mounts on the top motor mount bolt.

I don't think the '65 uses the cable clip @ the motor mount bolt, does it?
I think it's just the one on the frame tube like he has it now.

I see a pretty good rub mark on the top of the pan from the cable so I think the clip on frame is all there is. But then again................. :?:

You're correct. But it is missing the clamp for the inner cable to the top of the throttle linkage.
