Drill the handle bar and mount the box where it fits, like right below the panel......That's what those holes are for...1/4" drill bit and a couple 1/4 X 20 nuts and bolts.

negative action means the wire moves the opposite direction of the lever.. You push lever forward it retracts wire back , and vice versa positive action means the wire moves in the same direction as the lever.

It does not especially matter, if you ignore the printed "Slow Fast Choke" whatever is printed on the control - as long as the wire moves throttle the direction you need it to, you can always paint your own "Slow - > fast" information on the control . :)
