Need some ideas on how to reverse the throttle cable travel at the carburator. I don't think the DAR will go for "Push to close". I have some ideas but I wanted to see how others have handled this. The cable connection at the carb is as shown in WW's Engine installation manual. Also using WW's fuel system layout the gascolator is less than an inch from the right exhaust pipe. Don't think it's a fire hazard but is that close enough to creat a vapor lock problem?

That way, there is no "reversal" required.? I can send? a drawing and photos if you want.

Still the principles are similar enough. My problem was to connect dual throttle knobs with one carburetor. This was done with a long torque tube mounted in the cabin a few inches behind the firewall. There are three arms welded to the tube - one on each end connects to a knob and the center one attaches to a cable that goes through the firewall to the carb. The tube is supported on nylon bushings - two bolted to the channel running from the firewall to the instrument panel and two small ones on aluminum pieces riveted to the side skin, You could do a similar thing without the second throttle knob. If you put the connecting arms on opposite sides of the torque tube then the cable will reverse. You could also accomplish the same thing by using a lever throttle instead of a push-pull cable.
