For illustrative purposes...here's the Hawk housing. As you can see it's a "conventional" twist type throttle and the throttle cable housing itself threads into the actual aluminum throttle housing... http://pws.cablespeed.com/~danielzink/bikes/hawkt1.jpg http://pws.cablespeed.com/~danielzink/bikes/...

Just a thought don't know if it's been suggested but instead of trying to make new bits fit your old carb why not fit a complete new carb with matching slider. CB77 throttle cable is (for lack of a better term) a "Y"....no reason to change my carb..just need a single (rather than dual) pull cable. ...

I stretched out the spring. However, you must ensure that the slide can move freely inside the carb. If the carb has been over-tightened it can warp, causing the slide to bind, usually at the top of its travel. Slide binding can also be caused by build-up of gunk (for want of a better word) on the ...

Re: throttle

Add your location. Fixed. Are you sure the problem is the carb and not the cable or grip? ....................lm Yeah. Freshly rebuilt carb....it does the same thing with the throttle tube with a grip on it or a bare throttle tube. Both sliders do the same thing (stock and brand new). Cable works d...

Sticky throttle is going to drive me to drink....

I've read up....apparently the "sticky" throttle is a known issue with these bikes... I thought I'd try to remedy it...all to no avail... New slider and throttle tube from Thailand...silicone grease...graphite spray...polishing and grinding any and all burrs of the inside of the throttle tube...fili...

I recently got a CA77 with the same issue. Hadn't been titled (or registered) for over 20 years. And all I had in hand was a bill of sale and an old threadbare...unsigned...folded up..water damaged title... Turns out...after some investigation the bike had originally been titled with the *engine* nu...
