Mounting throttle cable

[Imbo]

Very noobish question but i just got my 6.5 hp honda clone and i was guessin mounting a throttle cable was easy but this bad boy has no hole to put a bolt through and i dnt wanna brake it. any tips would help. pics would be much appreciated

Drill a hole thru the throttle lever.

yea i was thinking of that but still it leaves the coduit just moving so it dosent work and theres no where to mount the conduit

thats pretty helpful but i dont wanna be drilling into my engine or takin it apart...i might just put the retainer screwed into the air filter cover

I just put mine together. I drilled a hole in the throttle lever and used a bicycle gear shift cable. I attached it using brake hose clamps. I will try to pst a pic.

I used conduit retainers from a bike, similar to the ones on affordablekarts. It works wonders, plus you can adjust the retainers to tighten/loosen the cable. If you dont have a spare junk bike it'd be worth getting the throttle kit here http://www.affordablegokarts.com/mm...ode=A&Product_Code=THROTKIT&Category_Code=SI7

Here is my set up. I put an extra spring for the throttle return . It is circled in black and the other side is attached to the cover over the muffler. I drilled a 1/8" hole in the muffler cover.
I circled in orange where the throttle cable attaches to the throttle. it is a small hole I drilled there also. I used a clamp there to hold the cable. I forget what they call it (it's a barrel that a screw goes into and it clamps down on the cabe). The outr jacket is held down by a small break clamp . It is circled in orange also. There was a hole there allready if I remember correct.

The AGK kit that devino246 linked to works great. I just got done doing mine with the AGK kit and had it installed and running in no time flat. Well worth the purchase.

i had my brake cable and a couple pieces from my old vex robotics kit and bent a piece to an "L" shape and put the cable through and you take of the air filter cover, theres a spot with a hole thats coming off from under the gas tank and another hole on the opposite side of the throttle lever wich i bolted it to. no drilling required. parts used:
!-piece predrilled metal bent to an L
2 screws
2-keps nuts
4-washers
throttle cable
EXTREMELY simple on the harbor frieght engines
