cable size

[Tank]

Hi all
When measuring a control cable do you go end to end or mount to mount?

End to End. This from uflexusa.com website:

FOR NEW INSTALLATION, measure A + B distance from the control along an unobstructed cable routing to clutch and / or throttle connection.

Round this dimension off to the next whole foot: you will have your cable length.

We recommend that the cable bends have a minimum radius of about 8" (200 mm).

For outboard engine installations, it is necessary to add three feet to the obtained length, in order to allow the engine movement.

To determine the needed length of the REPLACEMENT CABLE, measure it from tip to tip.

When ordering, specify the cable length in feet, rounding the dimension off to the next whole value

Tom, my Uflex book says to do it differently on page 6.....

something about casing length, and then add 22"

Let me double-check. The only thing certain is I seem to go thru this everytime I gotta order a cable.....:bonk:

First if you have the old cable it should be marked on the caseing,its marked in inches or measure end to end..
