Of course, that's always an option as well, but it's slightly more involved and is a bit overkill for the problem that James described. I know that you prefer the feel of the cable throttle, Joe. But on my RHD Spitfire, I personally preferred the mechanical linkage. When I went with the Keihin quad carbs I was forced to go with a cable type, but if I had my druthers, Carruthers, I would have stayed with the original setup. I'm running the cable type now, of course. No complaints, really. Different strokes for different folks!
