RE: single throttle cable
Some folks use a single throttle cable, but I would not recommend it. If the return spring at the carb ever breaks of comes undone, you'll be in deep doo doo.

RE: single throttle cable
That's like the suicide throttle on the old Harleys. For cruising on the highway, it may have been a plus, but otherwise, I prefer the 2 cable setup. I had a single cable on my old 1964 XLCH, scarry at times. Stay with the 2 cable.

RE: single throttle cable
You need it about as much as a clutch or kickstand interlock. The MoCo puts them onfor people who wouldn't have the quick acting mindset to hit the kill switch or pull in the clutch in the event the throttle stuck open with due to a return spring breaking on a single cable set up.

Had a single cable on the ironhead, cable constantly got stuck and one day it broke on a big roadtrip. rode 150 miles working the throttle with my hand on the carb. Now it has a dual cable
