Default 782 Command Swap, some ?'s

Ok guys I finished my Command 18 swap on my 782, and it seems to be running pretty well, but I've got a few questions/issues.

1) My engine has a mechanical pump on the left side valve cover. My side shield contacts it when installed. Could I use a pump from, say my 1861? It has a pump on the back side of the firewall. Then I'm thinking I can get a standard type valve cover & eliminate my clearance issue?

2) I used a generic aftermarket throttle cable, and adapted it to a throttle lever from an 1811. Basically the entire lower 1/2 of the throttle travel does very little- all the rpm adjustment is in the upper 1/2 of the travel- anyone have a cable recommendation? I have a WF, QL, and the 2185 cable, and none of them are long enough, and the OEM 782 cable is too short as well. Additionally, if I pull the throttle down quickly after WOT it'll backfire. If I gradually bring it down it's fine.

3) Anyone have a tach recommendation? I tried using the inductive pickup on my DVOM, but I don't think it's working (my DVOM/or pickup). Seems as though it is getting rated rpm (based on seat of the pants/cut quality/engine power & response) but this thing is quite a bit quieter than the old KT17II, and I'd like to verify where it's at.

Other than these things I'd say I'm pretty happy with the swap. Sounds way cooler than the KT. Seems to handle the 50C pretty well too. Thanks for the help.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
