Throttle and choke cable connections

Post by jjc »

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to get my 61 850 back on the road after a few years in storage, I removed and refitted the carb but neglected to take some pictures of how the choke and throttle cables should be connected to the linkages, and I don’t know if I have misplaced any washers or got them hooked back up correctly.

There are drawings online but I couldn’t find anything detailed enough to help.

For the choke, is it just the trunnion and nothing else needed?

And for the throttle, I have a nut, then a large washer, then they pinch the cable end and hold it, then on the other side I have a wave washer, the return spring clip, another smaller washer, the carb linkage and a split pin to finish, however I’m not convinced this is right.

If anyone could advise on the correct set up that would be most appreciated!

Thank you.

The choke looks good

The throttle normally has the extra washers and return spring anchor on the other side of the throttle arm.
