Hey guys, just picked up a 1970's vintage go-kart last night! It used to be a raced back in the 70's at a race track then the previous owner bought it just to drive around in it for fun.. It has a new clutch and a new chain but runs rough... The air filter looks okay, I think the carb may need some tweaking as well as the idle screw. But that's not what is preventing me from driving it... it's when I took her out the truck I heard a loud sound, it was the throttle cable. It go disconnected from the back and i was so smart that i just pulled the cable and it came out from the black rubber sleeve thingy. I tried to feed the cable back through the sleeve but it won't come back out the other end and I don't know how to re-connect it. The kart has a 3hp briggs motor, I know that may seem slow, but when I test drove it last night I briefly floored on the street and it can really fly.
Cliffs: noob needs help with throttle cable, he needs to re-attach it and not sure which new one to order. THANK YOU in advance, and I need help ASAP as I want to to be driving this puppy tommorow
