well it finally runs!




Here is how I did my custom throttle cable, I just clamped two cable together, great to work on and does the job flawlessly. I also made it do the cable has a section further up the frame for decreased friction.





A closer look,the clamp is off a brake caliper that has been customised and some washers added for clamping.





The rear brake cable; this also has a bare section for decreased resistance, it was at first much harder to use that the front but with this and some PTFE lined cables its pretty good now.




Complete!


I will do another update to explain what has since happened. But I will say right now I think in due time I will be able to do some killer monos and it's a blast to ride.




I initually ran the engine with no spark plug cover and not suprisingly I copped a few shocks. Other than that it ran great and felt good. I fitted a rubber boot over the spark plug and also went to fit my other engine.

What happened is that I was ready to change the engine and I did. Interestingly enough the chain was adjustable perfectly for the previous engine but when I swapped to my decent engine it wouln't fit. It seems that theres a bit of a difference between castings and the heights of the mounts. I tried running a chain a link longer but it was too long. I bolted it up still and used it. I rode it and it had twice the power and that was with the standard pipe, it was great.

I initually filed the engine mounts down a bit to level it a bit like I did with the other engine, but to correct the chain length issue I filed it down some more and retried it. It didnt make much of a difference so I took it back off and then got the grinder out and took more off. I retried and it seemed like I took too much off. I tried two different sizes of washers and I when tried the thinner one it suited perfect.

However when i tried to start it it was dead. I spent half a day trying everything and I found nothing. Finally I put my orginal engine back in and it fired up. I figure I just popped a seal somewhere or something I will find out soon.
