You have a Lokar style TV cable, OK, I guess it has some kind of crimp for the cable end?

Adjust the jamb nuts to center.
Slide the plastic end clip down the cable, then the crimp.
Hook the plastic end clip to the carb.
Clamp some locking pliers on the end of the cable.
Rotate the throttle lever to WOT (have someone hold it there).
Using the pliers pull the cable tight.
While keeping the cable tight, Push the crimp against the plastic end & crimp it/tighten it.

After installing the crimp, With the carb still at WOT, pull the cable again, if there is slack, Adjust the cable housing toward the firewall a little at a time untill the slack is no longer present.
