I've got a Jimmers manifold which from your description of what you've got sounds like fundamentally the same thing and my throttle and choke cables both run around the back of the carb body and then up and into the carb from the front. you can see them here: http://scooterotica.org/forum/viewtopic....

"Is that an auxillary fuel tank on the toolbox?"

Hi Mike,

Not fuel, it's a 2 stroke oil tank.
