That is the correct cable. Maybe have a look at the throttle valve and spring connection? This cable fit like a glove on my bike. best of luck.

Should the cable receiver on the carb be straight, or a 45* elbow (like on the PWK)? Mine is straight...

straight on both ends . no 45's

I haven't started it yet.

The M-P 10-3000, is the longer +4'' cable. Many bikes have this cable and it fits/works well. Check to make sure the cable end is all the way up into the slide and routing is correct.

I was referring to the actual brass receiver fitting on the carb, not the cable...

roger that, I'm pretty sure all pwk's had straight fittings @ the carb cap.

OK, I'm convinced that I have the wrong cable (although it was labelled 10-3000). I need something longer... The slide is definitely not closing all the way. Not even close. Photos show the cable attached to the carb. Adjusters are in all the way on both ends. One of the slide with cable attached. One showing how far the slide is open with cable attached...
EDIT--- I went on the Motion Pro website. Cable housing length for the 10-3000 is 41.73 inches, which I have. Measuring exposed cable on my OEM cable (while attached to the OEM carb with slide closed) is 2.75 inches. Exposed cable on the Motion Pro (while attached to SmartCarb with slide closed) is 2.05 inches.
Any thoughts or recommendations?

The nipple on the end of the cable does not look to be fitted in the slide right , to my eyes anyhow , it should sit inside the recess

No it is right, you poke it through the hole and then it sits in the slot.

I am having the same problem.... cable is long enough, but exposed cable isn't. I hacked up my stock cable to get more exposed cable length, but it probably won't last long! I have the cable end flush with bottom of slide.
