just fitted some dbilas tb's, currently running like poop, and the throttle cable is now super stiff. going out to anyone who's fitted a new inlet system with a repositioned throttle linkage, does anyone know if/how i can make the pedal any softer?

i like the tightness of mine as apposed to the old floppy feel. u could try loosening off the cable by that silver clip mate or reposition it

The pedal will be stiffer, as your opening four throttles instead of one.

always the same with dbilas tb's. they are a nightmare for stiff throttles as the springs on the linkages are just far too stiff.

either make up a direct throttle linkage or get some slacker springs.
