I have a 39 Master Deluxe business coupe, I need some info on hooking the cable end to the carb or where ever it hooks up. I see where it would come down the side of the carb and the bracket that holds the outside of the cable in place but that is all. I may have an end mounting piece missing. Thanks, Dave
I don't have the picture on this computer. If no one has posted a picture by morning I'll post mine from my other computer. The wire extends down through a hole in the linkage then a wire stop is attached to the wire.

Picture doesn't show clearly what you are missing... which is a wire stop.... If you can't find one to buy... you can make one by taking a 3/4" long small bolt (i/4" diameter or less) ...Thread two nuts onto the bolt, leaving a space between them.... drill a hole in the center of the bolt.....in that space, to run your wire through.... then tighten the two nuts towards each other to hold the wire where you want it....
The throtle wire goes thru the hole in the rod. The stop goes below the carb. arm so when the trrotle is pulled out is raises the arm and increases the engine speed, When he throtle is pushed in rhe linkke works freely and the rod slides up and down on the wire with no friction when the gad pedal is depressed.
The Carter W-1 carburetors in 1937 and 1938 use the throttle lever with the hole in a 90 deg. lip as pictured by Tiny. The 1939 and later carburetors use the arm and cable stop as pictured by minetto on the 1941 carburetor. The result is the same as the throttle cable can be used to increase idle speed but does not interfere with throttle operation at higher speeds.
Thanks for the pic Mike, that's finally cleared it up for me. The rod on my car had a piece of broken wire which was stuck through the hole, and I couldn't see it. Big thanks to all who responded
