1 into 4 carb cables
« on: August 24, 2019, 02:19:39 am »
Just wondering what the joint connection looks like.
I have a MT50 cable that joins into 2, buggered at the grip end, wondering if the top section can be replaced. I'm picking Honda used the same technique on the early 750's.
cheers scunny

Yes, Honda did.

The connection is made using short tube, originally metal, aftermarket is plastic i think.

Thanks for that, the 50 does have the metal tube, the top cable has a rubber grommet that pulls off. the 2 lower outer cables are crimped to the bottom of the tube. will have to pull the assembly out and see if that join can be accessed.

Sorry, I could not be more helpful.  My cable for the  K0 is buried deep in some box somewhere.  I replaced the - frozen - original with the one i posted link of.
