Everyone has their own version so here's mine.
Removed the coil pack, removed the "U" bracket holding the idle screw plate and choke cable clamp and alligator strapped the oil lines to the side frame tubes to open the area around the carbs. Tied monofiliment fishing line to the end of the cable, used a hooked length of 14 gauge copper wire tied to the other end of the fishing line to pull it down, under and up the back side. Used fishing line to guide the cable down, under and up the back side, positioned the cable knob properly and kept tension on the fishing line to hold the knob against the throttle link while pulling the cable back until the knob dropped into the seat. Made sure the cable was laying in the throttle link groove and operated smoothly. Once the carb end of the outer cable was fastened into place just yanked the fishing line off and discarded.
