I think I could live with that risk. Just change it every 25 years for a new one, maybe. They might rub on each other and wear out sooner or jam the throttle open etc. As far as feeding the replacement is concerned, I've had to pull the front end of the guide sleeve out while feeding the cable through the engine tinware, but it then fits in OK - it's pretty flexible. Part for FI is given as 311721 555 F and is 2610mm long, with threaded end. My '72 FI seems to have the same as the twin carb, which is 555 G ans is 2670mm long. I don't know if this is listed elsewhere. Dave.
