Re: S&S SUPER "E" THROTTLE CABLE HOOKUP QUESTION
The return spring on an S&S is pretty strong, I ran one for a year or so with no problem at all on a single cable. Just remember the idle cable is a safety feature: it allows you to pull the throttle closed if it sticks. You lose that with one cable. That said, I know there are thousands (at least) of bikes out there running single cables (not wires, cables) on S&S carbs with no problem. Just familerize yourself with the kill switch, just in case...BCOWANWHEELS wrote:WELL FINALLY READY to hookup my throttle cable on this super "E" and I have a question maybe someone could help me with that has "sperience" with these carbs.
