Either way, I got a chance to play around with it, and things seemed okay for finding the right color. It stalled when i tried to up the RPMs from the cable, but I realized I was touching the choke cable. oops.
If it's one gripe about the Weber DGV, it's the way the throttle assembly links are put together. The arc-shaped(imagine 1/4th of a circle) assembly is way too close to the l-shaped plate that holds the choke cable.
The result is sometimes a sticking throttle. I cannibalized my Stromberg throttle link and attatched it to the lever thing. The ball-end of the cable + link to housing is prone to jamming up with the choke cable plate holder. So I found the original nut+bolt with hole in it and decided to convert over.
Well, wouldn't you know, the cable's about half an inch too short. Even slacking it up on the threaded end of the cable housing didn't cut it. And no bike store was open on a Sunday. Never knew that auto parts stores didn't carry any accelerator cables.
So that's where I'm at, but I am making progress. Tomorrow I get to fight with the DMV to get collector plates, and that means paperwork! The old accelerator cable's in a ziploc bag ready for a replacement. Hopefully a bike shop can just get me a cable with one ball end, plain on the other side, 4 inches longer.
My idea is to stick the cable end on the furthest hole from the car's rear and maybe put a few bolts/nuts so when you floor it, the cable travels over the bolts, thus full pedal travel without the cable going the wrong way.
