Ordered custom length plug wires from Magnecor and some electrical stuff to clean up the main power cables on Friday. Should be here today or tomorrow. Ovder the weekend I rigged up the throttle cable. Made a bracket out of 1/8" flat stock and reused the stock throttle cable:
I had to tweak the cable mount on the TB a little and increase the width of the "channel" in the cable guide to get everything to work with the stock cable. I still need to rework the bracket a little to allow me to remove the throttle cable without pulling everything apart and position the cable a little lower to be properly aligned with the guide. The biggest PITA was getting the range of motion of the pedal to match that of the TB, which involved me having to modify the pedal assembly a little. Works pretty well now but the pedal is softer than I'd prefer. I need to find a way to increase the spring tension at the pedal or TB or both somehow, so if anyone has any ideas I'm all ears. Also, does anyone know how to remove anodized coating without a ton of sanding (i.e. chemically) or if you can anodize over an existing coating? Trying to ditch the blue and would prefer black.
