throttle/ idle cable help on efi

Can someone direct me or help me on a new throttle/idle cable install? Tried to install but cant get the two to sync. Also read about leaving slack in one line due to turning bars

Dont have my book with me but I do remember that for 1 of the cables, you have the throttle pinned.
I will see if I can find the info!

You pin the throttle open then adjust the throttle cable till the lever on the butterflies hits its stop. Then you release the throttle and adjust the idle. Dont over tighten the idle or it will cause a bind.

Throttle is adjusted as they said. Wheel pointed straight ahead and full throttle watching as it just touches the cam stop and back it off half a turn.
Wheel turned full right, adjust idle cable until the spring just touches. Tighten em up and replace the weather boot.

The throttle should snap back to idle testing full right turn/left turn.
