Throttle and Choke Cables

The Bugeye throttle cable used for HS1 or HS2 carbs is too short for use with the single HIF44 carburetor. So, we had to make our own. We had some cable conduit on hand that was long enough but we needed to find the proper ferrules to use for the ends of the cable. We finally located the right size step ferrule and purchased some from Venhill USA. Part number F82B, stepped ferrule for cable LB1TS – 5.5mm O.D. https://www.venhillusa.com/f82b.html The stepped ferrule is used at the end of the cable that sits in the chassis fitting close to the accelerator pedal assembly. The other end of the cable uses a standard bicycle cable ferrule. The Bugeye Restoration Video Episode One Hundred-Five contains information about the proper length of the new cable.

The choke cable is also not a standard or OEM cable. We are using a choke cable sourced from Bugeyeguys https://bugeyeguyparts.com/products/locking-choke  that has a two-step lock feature, stopping once at high idle and then stopping again at full choke. However, the downside of this modification is that the cable and its conduit are too long. With our special cutters we shortened the cable and added another stepped ferrule. This ferrule is a little larger than the one for the LB1TS cable because the choke cable is a larger diameter. We used part number F115 for the LB3Ts cable 5mm Diameter.
