Thanks Shawn. I think mines stuck in the channel underneath somewhere, my guess is it's got a little caught or something when the engine was out. Fine at carb n pedal end, but stuck n revving the nuts off :roll:

When I had to replace mine it was a sod to thread through the bulkhead into the engine bay, maybe yours is sticking in the same place?

Evening, I'm pleased to say I didn't need the cable after all. In daylight the problem was obvious and an easy fix. The return spring on one of the carbs had broken. Who'd of thought that would sound so expensive when it went huh :lol:
