The early models of "sandcast" Hondas have one cable that splits into two-- THEN into two again operating the 4 carbs.

They did not have  one cable pulling open and one cable pulling closed  on the early Hondas.
Most of the two cable systems did not come into production until the vacuum operated carbs came into production.

I started working in a HONDA dealership when the first Honda 50's were sold, and worked until the first Honda 750's came into production.

When you see a Honda with the clip holding on the float bowl it most likely has one throttle cable only and a spring externally to close the throttle. And of course the internal spring on the slide to help close the throttle in case the throttle cable breaks which is rare.
