GreenStreak Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 I bought a motion Pro cable brand new for the for the wife's Pantera. At junction where it goes to 2 cables the plastic part of the right cable pulls out of the block. The metal end comes out with it and the cable stays in the junction block but when you steer the bars it raises the idle because it makes the throttle pull. Fucking aftermarket junk never again. I knew I should have bought a Arctic Cat cable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stealth bomber Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Yeah. I’ve bought them and had the lead tit on the end of the cable missing, or one cable is longer than the other on a dual carb setup. Now I just buy oem when it’s available. Pay a bit more but it always fucking fits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DriftBusta Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Used to make our own cables back in the day, you’d buy them unsized and cut to length, solder the ends on. SkiDoo drive by wire ftw. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenStreak Posted December 31, 2019 Author Share Posted December 31, 2019 Oh and by the way I was able to fix the cables I pushed them all the way in and then crimped them where they go into the carburetors. Where they go into the junction block I put JB plastic weld on the metal and the plastic part of the cable and shoved them in and let it dry overnight. they seem strong as hell and now it idles right. Sometimes a little redneck Ingenuity will overcome piss-poor Manufacturing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
