Posted: Sat Aug 02, 2014 1:25 pmIs the throttle cable housing on the carb supposed to have some sideways play?

Posted: Sun Aug 03, 2014 2:54 pmCan you specify the carb? Is it a Dell'orto SH1 or SH2, or some other make or model?

Posted: Sun Aug 03, 2014 9:09 pmIf you are talking about the pivot point that bolts the arm to the carb, they tend to be a bit slack. I normally replace the nut with a nylock and nip it up then back a tad. You dont want it to stick up at full bore
Just read this again and may have got this wrong. the cable goes into the adjuster screw and thats mounted in the aluminium. the other end may be what you are thinking about. The fork that the nipple sits in. If you have slack in the cable the nipple can slip out. If so nip the forks together with a pair of plyers.
Thats it Im guessed out.
