Im having to replace my throttle cables, as general maintenance  has revealed 
the
the STBD carburettor was failing to advance to fully open. On further 
investigation
it was found that the cable was tight in the outer sleeve. Ok, fully
removed the same cable was also kinked at the lever in the throttle box.
    Has anyone found a good fix or improvements for this? 

In the throttle box the friction setup could also do with some improvement too.
When the correct friction is set, the lever does not slide between the friction
washers but turns against the nuts instead. Has anyone found a better solution
for this too?  

The manual suggest not shortening the cables but some may have shortened them.
How has the worked out ?

    Any UK mods would be helpful, or suggestions to submit a mod.  Or maybe a 
simple
fix.
