Need a quick fix on that throttle cable, the one between the firewall & linkage?

Go to a bicycle store and have them fabricate it out of bicycle brake line (with the nub of course!). Total cost? Around 9 bucks.

You can also get 2 of them (longer) and clip the nubs off and fabricate a pair of choke cables too.

Ugghh... just saw the other forum for these things. Posted in wrong forum, newbie error. My apologies.

Just add pics and all will be forgiven!

haha I went to Walmart and explained the cable and the lady took me to art department and handed me a roll of that same kind ,bike break cable , and I've been using it for new throttle ,and throttle control cable , and the rest of it I use to snake out my lines at the curves with it . I think it was about $4-5 . . I started in the bike section thinking there'd be break cables there but that's when I asked a worker .

oh and then I used a small hose clamp to clamp it to the bar to make it for sure staying put .. both of them clamped down together on the pole.
