The machine shop borked my original carbs (well, one of them) so I decided to buy some flatslides and see if those will work. The original setup is one cable and a rod that connects the three throttles. How do I go about getting a 3 into 1 cable set up that will work with flatslide carbs? Anyone been down this road?
somebody may jump in here and correct me if im wrong but i think you need a push/pull type throttle for flat slides as the vacuum will cause the slide to stick.
I will run Mikuni BST36SS off of a Triumph Sprint 900 (all T300 series Mikunis will fit) on my XS750.
They are a straight fit besides some minor mods.
They are membrane flatslides and also used on some suzi bandit models so parts are easy to get.
Yup, NVT-Bsa in the 70ies had you solution. What you want is a 3in1 cable-splitter for a BSA/Triumph Trident from the 70ies. Still available via Amal in the UK (and ebay as a result). Now you may fit three individual carbs which are operated with by a single cable each.

It's generally wiser to have a return cable, but no there's a throttle return spring in these carbs, which is quite stiff, so working that throttle can be a bit strong...
