Donny, See Paul Linns response and probably go with that. I don't want to
tell you something and have your bike get screwed up. I have taken just the
front cable off and things have been OK but that's just me. Paul is right,
it is more work but then you are sure you won't screw stuff up. Sorry, Bob

 Bob,

Thanks for the reply. I had already gotten that far - my question, more
specifically, is how do I unhook the upper cable from the inside of the
barrel? I've disconnected the cable from the throttle and loosened the
adjuster on the top of the barrel as much as possible. With the lower
cables intact, I'm not able to pull the connector all the way out of the
top of the barrel. I know the bottom of the barrel unscrews as well, but
to do this I'd have to disassemble the lower halves, which is what I'm
trying to avoid since I just rebuilt the carbs and put it all back
together. Hopefully this makes sense.

Thanks,
Donny

Donny,
No, you can leave the lowers intact. The front end of the barrel should
unscrew completely revealing the end of the throttle cable. When you
have
it apart, check for fraying of the cable where it goes into the barrel,
unlikely but could happen. When you reassemble grease liberally with a
light grease. Best, Bob

 Greetings,

I'm trying to replace the upper throttle and choke cables on my '70
Ambo. Is there a way to get the uppers out of the 2 into 1 adapters
and
 
 
 still leave the lowers hooked up or do I have to disconnect the lower
cables from the carbs?

Thanks,
Donny
