    Hi,

    I dismantle my Husqvarna WR 240 1985 a year ago and I do not remember where my throttle cable pass through (from the carburetor to the throttle handle) .

    I think it goes between the radiator (left or right) and the frame (below the tank) but I'm not sure. The clutch cable goes through a loop welding on the frame. Is the throttle cable goes also through there?

    Is it possible for one of you to send a picture of the bike with the tank removed to see where the throttle cable goes?

    Thanks

    If I understand, the cable passes between the two studs of the left radiator just over the coil and it is attached with a ti-rap. I will have to remove my left radiator...
    Thanks.

    you should just have to remove the gas tank. Mine is run the same way but on the right side.

    Yeap, i second Jim, take the tank off & run it down the right side, then put tank back on, over it.
