what throttle and tv bracket for carb?
What throttle cable and tv cable bracket are you guys running? I'm trying to figure out how to mount my cables up. Looking for something fully adjustable and sturdy. Also are you guys running the factory cables or something else? Any suggestions and first hand experience would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Make sure you get a bracket and lever for the TV cable that is specific for the carb you are using. With the wrong geometry providing the incorrect cable travel for the conditions, you could have a very short lived transmission. Get it right or it could get expensive.

Most of the premature 700r4 deaths are the result of improper tv. Either adjustment or geometry.
Without a doubt, the most problems I have seen were on incorrect carb conversions.

Here are part numbers. The TV bracket is sold seperately:

Edit: I had to increase the travel of the throttle cable a little bit(less than 1/2 inch). I did this by cutting off some of the insulation and then off the sliding sleeve inside that. Works great now. The replacement cable from Midamerica does not have the sleeve to worry about but the cable you see in the picture is the factory original. I didn't uinstall the replacement.
