Re: Throttle cable different?tpi and carb

Yes, the TPI cable is much longer than the carb cable.

You could try looping the TPI cable around to get it where it should be for the carb, but you would be better off getting a proper short cable.

The TBI cable will work fine as well - maybe get one cheaper than a brand new Lokar or something else.
