hanks to the guys that gave me
insight on replacing my cable with a bike brake cable. Worked great. I
went to a bike shop and the salesman did not wat to sell one to me
because I was going to put it on my MGA. Not a bike. ?? He got the owner
over and he sold it to me. <br>
&nbsp;Now I want to replace the throttle return spring. I need to see a
picture that shows the spring placement and the lower connection point. I
think the last owner put the low spring connection point in the wrong
location. The spring got extended because the lower point was under the
front carb. <br>
Thanks guys,<br><br>
