1968Commando 189 #1 Posted 16 hours ago Hey all, I’m trying to work on my wheel horse a little bit here, well for some reason I swear my throttle is either idle, or full throttle no inbetween, it’s a k181 on a commando 8 80729712277__A6E2EF28-3946-421D-91F4-70B6B11217C7.MOV Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wallfish 20,241 #3 Posted 14 hours ago (edited) Whenever the cable is connected directly to the holes in the disk that happens. Very fast throttle response. A Wheel Horse spec engine would have a small arm that was welded to the disk so the cable connection was a bit farther distance away from the center fulcrum point. Therefore it would take a longer distance to travel from idle to full rpm. This is what that arm looks like Edited 14 hours ago by wallfish 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mine shows the cable coming from the bottom. And you'll need to trim the conduit back a bit on yours to leave some room so the cable inside is exposed more.

I have done this before and have had pretty good luck doing it that way. You could try one and see, Ive never tried it on the silver dash decal though and pin hole may be more visible than its worth. 9 hours ago, wallfish said: Whenever the cable is connected directly to the holes in the disk that happens.
