The cold start valves on my Z-S's do not fully close when the knob is 
pushed all the way home. It is almost like the cables need to push the 
cam down at an angle which the cable attach point doesn't permit. I've 
tried varying how much cable sheath is exposed below the little spring 
clips without any particular success. If I expose a lot of sheath below 
the clip, the excess cable gets sometimes snags the throttle linkage. 
Exposing something like 3/8" of sheath below the clip permits the cable 
to flex and the cam fails to move fully through its range of motion. Any 
suggestions? Should the cold start valve move easily? It does seem sort 
of stiff on each carb.
