Tiger List,
Last weekend I broke my Tiger's throttle cable. Luckily, I was only
10 blocks from home and was able to jury rig the cable with a small pair of
vise-grips to get back home. I ordered a replacement cable from Classic
Sunbeam, and it does not resemble what a DPO rigged, apparently using
bicycle shifter/handbrake cable. I would like to return to the stock
configuration, but I'm in the dark regarding how to hook it up. If someone
would email me a couple of photos of their setup (concentrating on the carb
and gas pedal connections), or direct me to a site that has the info, I'd
greatly appreciate it.
It could have been worse: My wife and I were up at the TE/AE United
a couple of weeks ago, and it could have broken on that trip. The throttle
stop was not an issue; I'd checked that a while back, and the stop was
engaged just as the carb butterflies went full open.
Thanks in advance, and Keep on Tigering!
