Throttle cable snapped last night, on the pin that goes on the arm on the pedal. Tried to bodge it but I didn't have enough adjustment and it was just revving like hell.
I've rang all the local motorfactors and non of them do it.. Now i'm stuck with a DIY jobby.. Anyone know what i need exactly? I haven't taken the cable off yet, going to do that tomorrow so i've got something to compare.
Thanks for your help guys.

Re: Broken Throttle Cable..
You can use bicycle brake cable and cable clamps (the ones you put the cable through then screw tight)

I guess the other end locks with a screw? Because will have to feed it through the sleeve?

Re: Broken Throttle Cable..
IIRC the pin that goes in the throttle pedal arm is alot smaller. I haven't taken the cable end out of the Carb yet so i'm unsure what it looks like, sure it will all make sense tomorrow.
