All the cables are installed and working. I used the Puch cable party pack from Treats and modifications were required to every cable for proper fit and function. I will have to admit that of all the throttle assemblies I have worked with over the years, the Motobecane throttle assy. is pretty wonky and doesn't return to the off position as smoothly as I would like. I may have to do some cable placement adjustments or something to get the throttle to snap back to the closed position better. Seems the spring in the Dellorto 15 could be a little stronger.
I did have to do some slight modifications to the throttle slide to accept the small end of the throttle cable. I used a small carbide rounded end bit to open the area in the slide for the cable to stand up and exit straight out the top as it should. I also placed a thin O-ring in the carb mount where it contacts the Malossi intake manifold to prevent any air leaks.
I also modified a cable bendy for the throttle side of the carb by using a plated brass 45 deg bendy from Treats and cutting off the cable receiver end, drilling it out and soldering it back on the threaded end after cutting it back and removing the plating where the cable receiver would go. Ended up with about a 10 degree offset for the throttle and a 45 degree bendy for the choke side.
Next project will be timing the engine. (edited)
