Hi
Just a simple question: my 1978 fxs has a Edelbrock QuickSilver carb. Now the throttle cable broke so I need a new one. What are my options when ordering a new one? Is a Edelbrock cable a must or Can I use something else?

Seems to me I used the same cable as on a CV... Will try to verify!! Qwiksilver?? or Qwiksilver II??I dislike the one with the squirter...and love the II = without...
Looks like I have the QuickSilver II it says so on the air filter
The Best until the Mikuni...say some...I say Still...as I run as "American" as Possible..
Later , hopefully, I will pull cable and Measure Free length of Carb end...with cable in Throttle Tube (handlebar control)
That one may Not be optimal!!! Again...I am thinking same as CV...But..I was maybe drinkin, and Missed the corner to shop, a minute ago...will get measurement...after a bit!!!
^^^ My Free cable length..with Tube end in place on handlebar control. is 2-3/4 or a bit less...I hav plenty, so I'm thinking 2-1/2 f free length at Carb is about right...
