cb77 cable routing

[maia]

I'm having some issues with my throttle cables and wonder if someone could fill me in on proper throttle cable routing on my '63 CB77. I have a new cable from Tim and it goes around the front of the steering head to the left side, under the left side front tank mount then over the top frame tube to the carbs. I had it loosely secured with a zip tie so took the tank off and the tie and it still wants to lift the slides when I turn left and right. Thanks for any help.

Not over the tube.
The JOINT rests on the top of the right side coil. ............lm

I took a short (30 mile) ride this morning and while making a full-lock slow speed left U turn in a cul-de-sac experienced just the phenomenon you described, unwanted throttle opening. When I got home and checked it out I discovered the throttle cable had worked its way down and jammed between the headlight bucket and top fork cover. I pulled it up and adjusted angle of the part where the cable comes out of the grip to form a bit more of a loop, which seems to have fixed the problem. I'll have to keep an eye on this, it's embarassing to have engine roar out of control like that.
