Hello,
after a few days of nice riding, I'm experiencing huge problems in getting my 73 Interstate started. I changed the plugs, I bought a new battery. Nothing. And unfortunately the bike is too far from any decent hill.
Today I noticed that the throttle cables are both very loose: the black cover tend to slip out the holes of the lucas throttle, leaving outside 5 to 10 cm of naked wire. I guess this could be a problem (if only the bike started...), because it caun cause the throttle to block when closing it. But, more urgently, do you think this has something to do with the fact that it's becoming imposible to start the bike? Any suggestions?
Thanks
P.S. The carb is a double Amal
