Fit the removable upper nipple in to the throttle pulley and thread the inner cable through the central hole. Turn the throttle twist grip back to its stop and pull the inner cable tightly but not enough to move the carb slide. Then tighten down the upper nipple and test to see if the carb responds.

Make sure to lubricate the new cable before installing it. Thread the new cable through the metal cap, and attach it to the choke lever assembly by pushing the nipple into the slot. On the carb end, thread the 90 degree bend, followed by the adjuster, and finally the spring.
