On a thumper's carb, why is it neccessary to have two throttle cables? One pushes, and one pulls. Why the push cable? I recently damaged the push cable, which caused the throttle to stick open, so I did a trailside repair by pulling off the push side. It worked fine and allowed me to finish the day riding. It made it much easier to twist the trottle with only one cable too. The second cable forcibly pulls the slide back down when you let off the throttle, but there is a spring on the carb to do that. What I'm wondering is if it would be OK to leave it the way it is and just run it with one cable?
