I've had the pleasure of installing both cables a few time with the carbs on. Its not the easiest thing to do but it is very possible. The trick is a pair of LONG needle nose pliers and patience. Force the carbs open to move the position of the key slot for the cable and start fishing. I find that swearing at the cable also helps it along. Good luck.
