Hi all. i'm still very confused about my throttle cable and where it goes into the engine bay. where it should clip to etc etc
I think i need a new out sheath but not 100% if someone could post a pic of theirs it would be most helpful. where it goes into the tinware at the back of the engine and the other side of the tinware is where i'm interested in. Or if anyone has any old pics of that area. or even can draw a pretty picture!

Cheers
Ben

The cable outer flexible conduit fits in the tinware here.

Then the inner cable connects to the cross shaft like this.

Sorry, not to do with the cable, where does the aluminium pipe go to in the second picture? I've only got the plastic stub for the air intake.

Thanks,

Mick.

It just goes into the area under the air intake grill and is strapped to the rear of the wheel arch.

Something from your local bicycle shop for the brake/gear cables should do the trick.
