May the Sunrise Bring Hope Where it Once Was Forgotten

I think I've fixed one of my problems. I was looking around in the forums last night and came across a poster who said he and his friends just go to a bike shop when they need to replace a throttle cable. I went to one this morning with my old cable and they looked at me like I had four eyes. I also hit up a foreign car parts store that was caddy corner to the bike shop that I never new existed. He was at a loss as well.

So I shifted my efforts to the Midget. As I was trying to get it started, the mailman (who owns a Reliant and other road legal three-wheelers) stopped and gave me a hand for a while. What a super nice guy. Unfortunately, we weren't successful. But I mentioned about the throttle cable, and he, too, suggested a bike shop. He recommended Bike Line on Schoenersville. Now these guys were much nicer and more willing to help me. I ended up walking out with a wire and sheath for 7 bucks. A cap goes on each side of the cable which holds it in place at the firewall and at the carb bracket. So I had to remove those from the old one. Crimping them on didn't work (the caps were cracking) so they're held on with electrical tape right now. I took it for a short spin and it seems to be working pretty good.

I'm still going to order a new throttle cable and keep it on hand in case I ever need it. And maybe I can treat myself to a new shifter knob. Both items are real cheap but I'll see what it turns out to with the S&H.

Also, I never mentioned that I received my wheel caps from the seller and the registration from the notary. I'll fit on  the caps and remove my stupid temporary registration from the window this afternoon.
