With the throttle cables discontinued, and outrageous pricing on places like eBay - I was thinking of just replacing the cable innards with a new line - because I need to install a new carb pretty soon. There are all kinds of places online which sell bicycle brake cables in various lengths and with various ends - even removable ends! I was thinking off getting one with the correct cable end to work with a PWK39 carb, and then get a universal normal 'round' end for the throttle side. Here are some of the permanent cable end types:
So I'm thinking the PWK39 will take either B, D, or E type cable end. Then I know the thumb throttle is type C, which maybe can be made to length with an adjustable unit like this:
Then the actual cable can be had at like 100 inch length from almost anywhere - like REI, Bike shops, or any place online like eBay/Amazon.
Heres a 1.5mm diameter cable in 2 Meter length for like $2!

Also and finally - new cable sheathing can also be found everywhere online as well. Same deal. Now - the only thing you'd need to be concerned about is re-using your old cable ends and this of course is if your throttle cable has snapped completely or otherwise useless.
Thoughts?
