Title: Carburetor Issue
Post by Tony9 on 07/01/22 at 15:37:50

Hello! Just put a sportster muffler on the 2009 S40 and thought ahead so purchased a Stage 3 carb kit. Well, everything has been going fine until I got to taking off the Carburetor. I can't get the throttle cable off of the carb. I have the little lead cylinder on the throttle cable detached from the carb wheel. I even have the carb detached from the engine so I can work on the carb better but I can't get it to the work bench to put in the jets. I took the little clip off of the barrel that holds the throttle cable into the carb body , I pulled up on the throttle cable body, I twisted and pulled on the throttle cable body, I banged on the throttle cable body (kinda gently) thinking it was stuck in the housing. Still can't get it out. Used a penetrate on it thinking it may have rusted in. No go. All I can see is the the throttle cable barrel in another barrel on the carb and they appear firmly stuck together. :-/ More force needed?

Grab the part the cable attaches to. Rotate it,, as if the throttle cable was pulling it. One side has a slot,dunnitt? Slide the slug sideways.
I have not looked at one in a Coupla years, so, if what I said is Looney Tunes, I'm sorry.

You've got everything loose.
You've pulled the clip.
Now twist the L shaped cable end and pull.
Inspect the cable clip groove, maybe something is stuck in there.

Got it! Thanks for the help.Figured it out when I went to bed last night reviewing what I had written about a "Barrel in a barrel". And yes one of the barrels had a slot in it. DOH! ... I was trying to take the whole housing off not just the cable in the housing!!! Here's a pic, just got it all put back together. (Needs an air filter yet.
