Evening chaps

I'm about to go into tinker mode (well next weekend) ..... new clutch, expansion, carb etc

Anyway re the carb...

I have a Mikuni copy to nail on.... it has come with an inner throttle cable.
Now all my Lambos have had Delorto/Jettex carbs where the adjustable nipple is at the carb end.
The Mikuni has the fixed nipple at the carb (AFAIK)

Sooooo.... can you get adjustable nipples at the throttle end and if so where from???

Or am I missing summat?

Thanks guys

Julian

and, with an old brass pulley, leave enough spare to fit a spare nipple on the end.
it does also help to have some cable adjustment at the carb end, so maybe use an elbow with screw in adjuster ?
