Bike Carbs/Choke Cable

Hi,

just got around to fitting a choke cable to my ZX6 Carbs & the solderless nipple is catching on the body of the carb meaning I can only open the choke less than half its travel.

I assume that the solderless nipple I'm using isn't suitable, but to save me time (& effort - I'm a lazy b*****d) searching, can someone point me in the direction of one that'll work?

Cheers
Ray

Cut the nipple off and use the metal bit from the inside of the chocolate block electrical connectors.





Why do they call Port Harcourt "The Garden City"?...... Becauase they can't spell Stramash.

erm, but the cab;e enters from the wrong angle how does that work?

if you can get the cables off a bike, that would be better. even a cycling shop should have something suitable
