ARC throttle plate hook up?

[fireman388]

looking for a little help here as i did not get any kind of instructions with this kit. the top plate is already mounted and im trying to figure out how i route my throttle cable into this.im thinking my cable is too thick? the casing doesnt fit through the cap or the ball inside the cap.

a lot of racing go karts use a different type of sheathing, almost looks like a pastic/opaque color - like this (but not saying go buy this exact one, just is an example)

Go to the bicycle store, get a derailer cable, use that. 4 bucks and you're on your way.

Thanks alot Kelly Wood. i stopped at the bike shop this morning after class and got a derailer cable for $8. cut it to length and it fits and works great!

rather than making a new post (unless i need to) ive got another question. i got a whole kit (top plate,fuel pump,intake,exhaust,choke hold and so on) my issue is that the new fuel line that goes with the fuel pump is bigger than the factory fuel line. any suggestions on how to fit it to the carb as the fitting on the carb is obviously smaller than the new fuel line?

Might need to get a reducer barb and connect that with a piece of the old fuel line. Some auto shops might have that...
Or sadly, get new fuel line.

wouldnt that defeat the purpose of the fuel pump and larger fuel line?

I think there is a how to for this kit at AGK .com

I've got all that on a blue clone and used a reducer barb I got at NAPA and the carb gets all the fuel it needs,no problems.

Only commenting so I can find this later. Ran into the same problem. My throttle cable is too fat to fit through the casing. The casing was already on my kart. It had a throttle cable on it aswell but there was no plastic casing on the cable. Just bare cable so I'm guessing someone before me had the same problem and just went bare cable with no sheath. The (brass) is it? Ball thing you have posted. I dont have that. As I said the kart is old and the cable is bare. Maybe it was previously lost or taken off but does that go over the cable inside the the brass casing?
