nascarnutt Posted September 9, 2008 #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!

nascarnutt Posted September 9, 2008 Author #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?
Moped Posted September 9, 2008 #15 Posted September 9, 2008 Yes, put the HD electronic throttle on. No more cables.
KiteSquid Posted September 9, 2008 #16 Posted September 9, 2008 I am lookig forward to the Fly By Wire throttle on the 3rd Gen Venture.
