Topic: 78 550K throttle cable

[ugmold]

1. Anybody know where I can get a new throttle cable (return) for my 78 550k?

2. Got it on the road yesterday and commuted to work today. After my carb rebuild etc. (other posts) It ran ok, but farted out around 3k, maybe 3k my tach and speedo are sluggish. But not bad. Return trip the throttle was sticking a bit, I only have one cable on the bike right now and it seems to move free, its got to be in the carb linkage, something binding...

I got mine on ebay.  Just make sure it is for the right year.  The 77 and 78 are the same.

Here is the a used set.  But I am sure you can find new ones also.
