since when is LFS forum a karting forum?

Ermm what kart, normally the wire attached to apart of the pedal and you run it along the chassis to the throttle on the engine.

A good website for kart parts is spellfame, just search throttle cable, I don't really understand the problem.

how hard can it be

Google solves everything.

You can shut up if your not going to actually help him, just posting to correct someone and not posting anything helpful.

Go find a thread of which you might be able to post something half relevant and half useful.



Edit: you idiot, you used text speak too, moron.

You guys use text "speak" but if someone also does that you guys always wanna hunt them down.

I'm sorry I offended you, I was only pointing something out that if he keeps doing it will cause someone to say something about it at some point. I wasn't being nasty or putting him down just asking him to not use text type.

The whole paragraph is text type and it makes it difficult to read, if people use the odd word then it's not really an issue but when it a great block like that then people will point it out.

The txt, instead of text was used...well there is no point in explaining.

People who can't be bothered to spell properly but still want help from others don't deserve help.

It's alright, just got a bit annoyed

Just use the standart metal Throttle cable.
And use a Clamp.

It is in dutch but use translator and youre good!
And you are not allowed to drive on tracks with a non FIA Specced kart. If its a self made one it is not allowed!
And if the kart is FIA Specced then the frame is suited with a Throttle cable guideline.

Look at cable. Look at pedal. Look in various catalogues and websites. Find easy, cheap, elegant, light solution and use it. A crimped on thread with an adjustable rod-end, held onto the pedal with a small setscrew would be lovely (but perhaps overengineering on a gokart?).

Pulling it through a hole and knotting it?

I have attached a picture of what is normally run.

What kart have you bought by the way?
