Thanks guys for you fast response...What size cable???

Looks like Eddie has it hooked up pretty good, but if you go the other route, ordinarily I would say that the smaller the better. A 3/16 sheath and a 3/64 cable works but the slightly heavier 7/32 sheath and 1/16 cable works as well and is better suited for other applications so you have other uses when buying in bulk. Also this larger size has a better selection of fittings. Either way, make sure to get the flexible 7x7 cable instead of the more rigid 1x19. I said earlier that the other assembly should be under $20. I just got some and they were $8.79.

Ardillo, Get a standard throttle cable from Summit or Speedway, the RPC brand one is good and cheap, should not be more than $20. This will give you the clevis for the pedal and the mount for that end as well as the quick release ball for the engine end and that mount. Throw away the too short cable and sheath and get about 12 feet of bulk cable and sheath from Azusaengineering.com. The $10 to ship it is going to be way more than the cable and sheath combined price. Substitute that and you have a mid-engine throttle cable. While ordering from Azusa, they are a great source for brake cables, hood and trunk release cables, door lock cables, and others. I buy it by the 100 foot roll and use it on everything. I also keep a good supply of their end fittings in stock, they are handy for many things.
