[QUOTE="Gerry Clarke, post: 42518, member: 2120"] Had a similar issue with my C Rapide using standard carbs. plus an old brass junction box. When I first got the bike, the slides would only retract half way. Had to take the carbs. off and make up new cables on the bench. I used the original junction box - nothing wrong with it. Part of the problem had been soldered cable ends standing proud of the nipple holder and preventing full travel within the sleeve of the junction box. The nipple ends must sit fully within the recesses of the holder. Making up new cables like this, with the carbs. and throttle on the bench, allows you to easily see the slides synchronized. I also used this opportunity to remove the chokes and choke cables. They contributed nothing to the starting procedure, on my bike at any rate, and allow the thottle cables an easier life when it comes to routing under the tank. (I would guess that new throttle cables from the spares company would be correct, but I have not used them myself.) Gerry [/QUOTE]
