Throttle

Actuator Cable Anchor

The actuator cable must be anchored to a stable mount in which to pull the throttle against. There

are two alternative methods for anchoring the cable: to the front, or to the rear. A rearward

pulling cable will allow for the use of a longer bellcrank.

Alternative 1: Forward Pulling

Advantages Disadvantages

• Easy to route actuator cable • Awkward attachments of brackets to

frame

•

Mounting brackets can interfere with

operation of throttle cables or choke

cable

•

Potential interference with carburetor

airbox

The actuator cable needs to be mounted so that there is a long, unobstructed path between the

cable anchor and the bellcrank on the throttle. The PC's air cleaner box normally sits above the

carburetors and is an obstruction that needs to be avoided. Consequently, for a forward-pulling

actuator, the anchor point needs to be located far to the left of the centerline of the main throttle

cables. There are few easy attachment points near where the actuator anchor needs to be

mounted. Whereas it is possible to drill holes into the frame to which the anchor could be

secured with bolts, this is not advised since this increases the risk of weakening the frame.

The CCS100 kit contains both straight and "L"-

shaped brackets, either of which is long enough to

extend from a pair of existing holes in the top of the

frame near the steering head. The holes in these

brackets will need to be enlarged in order to match

the narrower spacing of the holes on the frame.

Ensure that the throttle and choke cables are not

obstructed or put into a bind.
