XflowThrottle cable/Throttle barrel query

[HendrixsWhiteStratReturns]

Morning

Quick query... throttle cable snapped and  have just replaced but the cable now has an annoying habit of popping out of the top of the barrel (see pic) and displacing the barrel (jamming at an angle until I stop an reseat it.

Cable and replacement was like for like and cable is taut.....anyone had this/know how to fix ?

pic is not my actual unit , just to illustrate issue etc

Where are the return springs?

Is the inner cable sticking at all in the outer when you move it by hand?

Hi Jonathan

The cable moves freely and is fine. There are no return springs on my pedal (which I've always thought is a bid odd ) the throttle return spring is fine (and new)

So is the inner pushed back by the springs at the throttle end? And there was enough adhesion between that yellow metal barrel and the old cable end, but not the new?

Have you checked cable is routed through the clip beneath the spring.

You mention return spring.... mine use two?

 I'd go with Stridey's suggestion, I have found it easy to fit the cable without the outer casing locking into the clip on the arm joining the  the carbs.     Another thought: have you fitted the big return spring the right way around? The coil in the middle should be  facing outwards, not towards the block.
