Hello. Well its time for the long weekend trip and sure enough something goes a bit wrong. This one is not so bad... my throttle keeps slipping. The actual chrome throttle shaft does not stay in place. I power up to any rpm above 2500 and the it moves back. How does one tighten the throttle to stay in place? Thanks in advance to everyone. Ed

J-Clamp
Take a look in the archives...I saw a post complete with pics on this that helped me with exact same problem (on a h27 though). Something called a J-clamp that essentially fits over the cables in the engine compartment and introduces enough friction when tightened to stop the annoying slippage. Scott

There is a screw in your binnacle
for this purpose. Check the archives. Remove the compass and tighten the screw. It is an easy fix. The J clamp is not a good idea since it crimps a cable which was not designed to be crimped that way. It will eventually wear at the crimp point and may break completely. Someone who has a cable break at just the time you need it will probably agree.
