I'm not sure if this is going to make sense but here goes....

What size are the nuts that attach the throttle cable to the carb? One's a locking nut and the other one is like a screw? I know they're smaller than 8mm but what size are they? I have a hif44 carb by the way.

This may seem lazy but I'm at work and there's a tool place near me where i can buy a smaller spanner! I'm guessing at about 6-7mm but a straight answer would be good.

Ta.

An 8mm was too big when I tried yesterday... It can't be 7/16" spanner

but thanks anyway!

The nut that goes on this? www.minispares.com/acc5062.aspx

Yeah, but the thread on mine (if I remember) doesn't look as big as that..

I might just take the risk and buy 2x 6mm and 2x 7mm spanners...

You could also buy the correct imperial spanner too...

That looks rather handy! I'm getting me one of those.

They only had 6 or 7mm, no imperial... Luckily it was a 7mm nut.
