Throttle Cable By oldputz (Read 461 times)

School me. 21,172 chinos on a 2006 GY6. Have fought an issue of dying on me at worst possible times. Most times happened going from idle to throttle.
Have- Replaced all fuel lines, vacuum lines, new carb, vacuum break. Valves set and re-set and checked again.

Last night decided I WAS going to figure out the issue. Fired it up and was flipping throttle lever back and forth on the carb. Noticed the throttle cable (the cable itself) riding up the throttle lever, let it idle back down, burped it again and cable came totally off.
I adjusted the cable at the throttle handle first, then at the carb.
Right? Wrong? Or replace cable? Thinking is that if that much stretch, new throttle cable?
The last thing I want to have happen is have a *cage* run up my tail pipe on a four lane street.

Sounds like the wire cable inside the shield itself is broke to me. They do not stretch that much.
In four years I have not had to adjust my cable. Now the other thing that could be bad is the PLASTIC holder that holds the Cable Lead Ball on the Handgrip is BROKE and or the lead ball came out of the slot.

Argggh! Didn't think about the ball in the handgrip. Thanks!
