I've seen several problems with old 2 into 1 cable set ups on Loops. All
cured by retro fitting twin cable Tomaselli units as fitted to 70/80's
Guzzis.

Easier to set up and if either cable snaps you still get home. Prudent
riders only need carry 1 spare too.

John:
The normal tension of the throttle shouldn't be enough to pop that
ball out continuously. As others have mentioned, it might be a throttle
cable going bad. However before you go out and buy new cables, check the
cable splitter attached to the frame rail under the tank. If this is
gummed up it could be the source of the problem, and a good lube might
be a cheap fix.
