You are gussing right the cable turns 90* and heads back to the carb. As for the trans kick down lever it should remain where you have it now "all the way to the left as you are looking at it. when you have followed the rest of the steps i think its step 8 ? where you pull the cable all the way out at the carb while holding the throttle wide open and secure the stop. At this point your trans kick down leaver should be all the way to the right. Make sure as you open the carb you cable is going the other way or simple "the less throttle cable you see at the carb the more kick doun cable you should see" as one goes one way the other goes oposite. Crap hope this helps it's just one of those things that when it comes to ya you think :banghead: that was easy.
