nascarnutt Posted September 9, 2008 Share #1 Posted September 9, 2008 Took my wife out for a ride and to supper. One the way, just as we were about to pull in the steak house parking lot. My trottle cable broke. I guess it was the cable. Haven't had time to check it out yet. Called around looking for trailer to get it home, no luck. Sat down and had a nice supper with my wife anyway. As we were walking out I had an idea. i turn the idle way up(3500 Rpm) flipped on my flasher and idled on home. Beef is brain food! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nascarnutt Posted September 9, 2008 Author Share #14 Posted September 9, 2008 Have not fixed it yet, it was dark by the time we got home. I plan to get on it today. I have'nt ever messed with these cables but once and they were a bear to get back on! Anybody got any tricks they want to pass on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
