Hey gang, back to work on the H1.
What is the correct routing for the throttle cable? I have it going down the right side of the frame with the shortest cable to the middle carb, the longest to the left carb and the next longest to the right carb. Is this right? I am having a hard time getting the left carb slide to come all the way down.
Thanks,
Jim

Anybody? I didn't have this problem before I took the cables off to clean them up and lube them. Are they all supposed to be different lengths?

Your routing sounds correct.
Is the idle rod bent?

Did you open the 4 way junction? The cables can get crossed inside here.

Only if you are facing the front of the bike

Those of us that have lower/shorter handlebars often route the cables to the opposite side of the tank (from the control) to use up excess cable lengths!

I did so I'll check that.

I have the superbike bars but I had them before I had this problem...
