The return springs did their job, but I've decided that cabe is a pretty lousy design... did a band aid fix to get it home, but will be re-engineering that too I think.

Be sure and take the rear U-joint with you to the machine shop when you have the driveshaft balanced.
And the front yoke remains attached.
They need em so they can set the shaft up in the machine.

(I'd give Deuce's 180 degree driveshaft flop a shot before doing anything else.)

Here's what you need for throttle linkage.

Just call it a one strand, non-deflected throttle cable.
