Throttle connector to carb

[NorfolkRagbagger]

This is embarrassing. I installed a newer, fresh water cooled A4 to replace the problematic original in my Catalina 30. All was well until connecting the carb to the throttle cable. The throttle cable is just a heavy wire, no threads, clevis, etc. I need the small pin with a short head on one end (with set screw for setting position of the cable) and smaller diameter shaft, with the hole for a cotter pin. It would the same as shown in the image below, but the Moyer parts catalog (FCAR_07.3_40) states this is for the choke connection. Would the small pin that intersects through the hole on the throttle arm on the carb be the same? I even have a backup Moyer replacement carb, new in box, and there's no stud/pin whatever with that one either.

If you use a choke lever how would you adjust the idle? You would be dependent on the friction in the cable and the stop on the control to hold the idle. This usually doesn't work real well. How was the idle adjust on your old carb?
Maybe I'm not understanding the concept here.

Sorry I wasn't clear - I'm referring to the pin the arrow is pointing toward. 2 auto parts store in my area so far just say "huh?" Would this pin work on the throttle cable?

don't know if this helps, but maybe a lawnmower shop or go-cart place might have just such a dodad

The part you show is part of the choke assembly.
The throttle uses one of these parts:


Product No. - FCAR_07_373
Throttle cable connector, ball joint

This connector is a convenient way to connect the end of the throttle cable to the throttle arm of the carburetor. It has a spring-loaded quick disconnect feature that allows the cable to be disconnected from the throttle arm without the need to remove a tiny nut and risk dropping it into the bilge.

The end of the connector has 10/32 female threads.

Product No. - FCAR_07_374
Throttle cable connector, clevis type

This connector has female 10/32 threads in the end and a 1/4" pin through the clevis.
Price - $12.25 Add this Item

Pay no attention to that blue hose in the background...

Hey Norfolk,
I've seen throttle cable wires connected to the throttle arm. What you have to do is drill a hole in the throttle arm, and then put a double 90 degree bend in the wire. Something like this..

Thanks all

Thanks all. Solutions provided. Will be ordering from MMI. Frustrating how something so simple can be difficult to locate.
