On your second picture, im straining my eyes to see if i can see the cable wrapped around in the groove of the white nylon before setting the barrel end in place...maybe its my eyes or the pic, but i cant see the cable in that grooved channel like it should be, that would be taking up the excess cable so that it would be the right length if im right...DAMIEN
The throttle works perfectly. With the air filter off and the choke open I can see it operating perfectly.
