[Tigers] A Tiger Adventure

[Kirk Smith]

I've been using a rod for the last 20 years.  The same rod.  It's a section
of heavy gauge coat hanger.  Seriously!  With my set up it's a pretty
straight pull, so no cable needed.  And, when I need WOT I get WOT!!

I think you guys need to add a few drops of oil to your cable once in
a while.
BUT, the best thing to do is replace it with a "rod".  I made mine out
of brass rod from the hardware store... easy!  AND, it feels really
good without the drag of the cable.

    I had this happen at the Suni @ Big Sky but I did have a spare in
the Boot, I always carry a spare.  Changed out the cable in the parking lot
of one of the local markets then drove back to the hotel to see if Rick from
SS had any still for sale.  All gone so I ordered one when I got home.
Never leave home without one.

    The solid cable flexes and can break; a multi wire cable would
probably be better.  I played with the cable mount and the throttle lever to
get as straight a shot to the carb as possible.   I hope that will reduce
the flex in the cable and thus increase the cable life.
