Default Throttle cable

Hey CR guys - any problems with throttle cable bind? I have a Lokar universal throttle cable. 351W; Barry Grant Race Demon. For the life of me, I cannot get the secondaries to open up more than 75%. It is not a cable length or gas pedal adjustment issue. I have set it up with the base line having the carb already 50% open. Stab the throttle, cable gets the secondaries 75% open and then starts to contort - bind. I have two return springs which are mandatory for tracking. Even without the springs, it still binds. Are there any good throttle cables out there? I would love to run a rod linkage setup, but not sure where to get the parts or how to set it up.

I posted this in the Shop Talk forum too to get non CR opinions
