hmm. how much bend would effect it? i mean, it looks straight, but, if there are minuscule proportions of difference that affect it, it is possible.
its too cold, its been in garage since snow fell, i'll work on it when it warms back up.

Re: throttle cable sticking
thank you wheelman. i knew about that "nub", and am always careful to align it properly, but it does seem to be catching in there. when it's disconnected, there is plenty of movement on the throttle.
i just cant figure out what's keeping it stuck in there.

Re: new spree project
my guess is the teeth in the gears slipped and now arent set the way they're supposed to be. i say this, although i know very little about it since i dont actually have kick start on mine(but ive read alot about it). what i would do is take the cover plate off, and realign everything.

Re: new(old ) '86 nq50

i don't think its an iowa, i checked the vin and from what i saw the iowa's have "061" in them before the * and mine is 060. I'm sure the exhaust could use a decent cleaning, however, im weary of how to go about doing it. The drain-o method doesn't exactly seem kosher to me, and I'm really...

It was in pretty decent shape when I got it...however, I have NEVER worked on an engine before. So, I got it home, drained the gas, replaced th...
