MACKS Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Would anyone possibly have a part number for the correct Accelerator cable for a cl with an E-7 350,looks like about 80 inches?

MACKS Posted March 25, 2023 Author Share Posted March 25, 2023 I ordered a can of cable lube and a fitting that is used to force the lube into the cable,I’ll see how that works..

Joey Mack Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 I'm guessing, Mack cant find the part # with the V.I.N. ? I used to take my dirtbike cables off and poke one end through the corner of a ziplock bag and go around a few times with elec. tape to seal the bag to the cable. Then pour a couple ounces of ATF in the bag and hang it up. ( Kinda like an I.V. bag) in a few hours, or over night,all the ATF has poured out the other end. Just an old way to keep my cables lubed.. On sorter cables I have used a drill and spun the cable. like a screw pump, i could dip it in ATF and it will pull the ATF through the sheath, and come out on the drill end. it takes a few minutes to do it this way..

Jojo I can get the cable at Mack but thought I would look on line to avoid the insane price mack charges for everything now,I’m gonna try and get some lube in it,it’s just to slow and sticking a little..

Jojo No that’s a throttle cable different from the accelerator cable,I’ll check my old bill receipts,I replaced this a couple times in the past,but lubricant might work if I can get it in there..

MACKS Posted March 26, 2023 Author Share Posted March 26, 2023 I tried your I V bag method and it worked like a charm,what a difference,next time I’ll try the cable lube and the cable fitting that I ordered to apply it,Thanks for the idea.. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/72643-accelerator-cable/#findComment-527987 Share on other sites More sharing options...
