Check out this pic...
http://www.thedougout.com/fitting.jpg This is what my '70 Century Resorter has to connect the Teleflex throttle cable to the carb. What's missing in the pic is the spring that sits between the floating nut (with cotter pin) and the nut between the fitting and cable. My single-arm morse control engages both the transmission and throttle on the carb. When the morse control is moved into either forward or reverse, it starts to retract the throttle cable prior to the transmission actually engaging. To prevent the transmission from engaging above idle, this fitting allows some tension to be taken up (1/2" or so) prior to actually engaging the carb arm. The (current) Teleflex fittings I've found don't do this... they have a simple ball joint that immediately starts to move the carb's throttle arm as soon as the throttle cable starts to move. Does the style fitting I have exist anymore? Unfortunately I botched this one up last year when trying to adapt it to a new carb. I either need to find a new fitting altogether, or at least the sliding part with the nub and cotter pin hole. Any help would be EXTREMELY GRATEFUL!!! THANKS!!! Doug |
