He would most likely make some sales as well. Especially if he had the other versions of the twin.

Hows the engine side of this all comming along Jeffery, Is goliath running well yet?

Arh no,still having problems with the carby.That's why I was hoping we could get together soon and help with rebuilding a carby.As I must be doing something wrong.

No worries, As i am comming by tonight, I will take a look at this too for you, G4's can be done in no time!

I'm sure you will learn about it.

Well I have my Twin Guide handy too, But these are standard g4's with a swapped jet and spring!

Ok then I guess now I need to find some fuel lines and a new accelerator cable now.Maybe then I will have good old Goliath working the way it should.

Don't forget to swap out that decompressor!

No I wont forget that, in fact I thinking seriously about putting the other motor on that base and giving that one a go.After we work out the throttle cable issue.

Hi everybody I need a new throttle cable for my twin.The spare didn't have one.Does anybody know if Bruce or even anybody has one?It would appear that is just part of my twin problems.

What is the length of the cable, you might find one from a series 70 utility mower might go damn close to fitting as they have the cable go straight down the handlebar to the engine as the twin does.

Id probably have a cable here that would work if you can give me a length.


Same as the electic??? Ive got handles on the one ive got here. Not much point keeping the mower as i will never find a catcher. Probably best to scrap it.
I had thought about making up a mulcher plug for it.

Thanks Joe and Rodeobob,I'll pull it of the mower this afternoon and measure it's length.I'll let you guys know when I have done that?Thanks for the quick reply.

I have had a look around here for you Jeffery, But so far no luck.

If we can get the length, you may even find some in the store.

I got on to Bruce about the VC-160 cable (Yellow) and there suppliers dont carry them anymore, but he is checking if there is any left in stock.

[Censored] that's not good then.I guess if he has some then I would need at least 3 for now.I guess it depends on how many he has got,if any.I suppose if he only has say 6 I would get them all and have some spares.I'm getting worried now.I was hoping he had some.As I only ever got one of my 3 (The mark III) and you seen how stuffed that one was.Fingers crossed come on Bruce you can do it.

Same here, bacause I am after a few myself!

However I am trying to see if i can source some through any other places, I have a few on my list, so I will let you know if I have any luck!

Sure can Ty.I have taken cable out and measured it.It 1055mm that's just the outer casing.It is 1105 from ball for carby to where it hooks on at throttle control.How ever I did notice that there is a kink in the cable.Could this be the problem?




I have added some pictures of the cable and it's bend.I'm just wondering if this could be a problem.If you think it is then let me know.Thanks

Well the bend certainly wouldnt be helping the situation.... I find they dont straighten out that well either, I will measure a few tomorrow if you like.

Yes please do.I think I will try to straighten it,but I do agree I don't think it will work out.

Give it a go, it will either work or it wont.
