Oscar,
Like you, Im planning on a rod linking the front and rear throttle handles together,
with a Bowden cable to the carb.
Speaking of Bowden cables, I made a nice find that Id like to share with all.
I came across a Bernard MIG Liner, thru which MIG welding wire is fed by the
welder.
I picked up a 15 long liner locally for $10. Not bad considering that ACS is getting
over $2.00 per foot. This is a Bowden cable that accepts 1/16 SS wire,
rather than the .078 wire. Maybe the best part about it is that it is roughly
half the weight of the ACS cable.
This Bowden cable will accept either 1/16 (.062) or 1.5mm SS wire. After an exhaustive
search, I found 1.5mm SS half hard wire on eBay for roughly $6.75 for
5 meters.
Im planning to use this for throttle, mixture, and carb heat.

Tom; thanks. I'll look into that MIG liner. For the wire, my starting point is
always McMaster-Carr. A quick search on their site finds a 27 ft length of
.059" (about 1.5mm) "spring back" 304 stainless wire for $5.03, but they have
lots of others to choose from. I think for the throttle I'd go heavier than more
slender just to avoid the possibility of kinking the wire on a quick full
throttle advance.
