    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

What is the easiest way to remove the cables that are attached to the carbs?

Remove the carbs first. While they are off a freshening with new O-rings is highly recommended unless they have been done recently.
 
The easiest way would be to remove the carbs from the engine and airbox first.Pull the carbs to one side ( usually the right side) and you get unrestricted access to the linkage.

If you leave the carbs inplace you can still get to the linkage and cable but it is a lot more fiddly. Sometimes taking off the seat and gas tank give more room to get your fingers in. It may also help to use a long shaft screw driver and needle nose type pliers to reach things. Loosen off the nuts that keep the cables connected to the brackets attached to the carbs. Pull the cables free of the brackets. Pulling up on the throttle cable will turn the cam in the linkage that it is connected too into a position where you can push the "barrel" ( at the end of the cable) free and the cable is then disconnected.

It may seem like a lot to pull off the carbs first but with practice its not hard and by far the simplest way of doing it IMHO.

Good luck with it.

Cheers,
