Ken,

Where did the cable snap? Any broken cable that I have ever seen has been
broken at the point where it connects to the lever. If the pin is not
allowed to move inside the lever it strains and breaks.

Just curious.....Looking forward to seeing you this weekend...Ian

Having just put new throttle cables on my Ambo this past
Saturday, the cup
holds a round ball.

I rolled the bike out for a ride the other day, hit the starter
& twisted
the throttle.....snap. At least the cable broke in the driveway.
I always carry
a spare throttle cable with me but what a pain it would have been
to replace
on the side of the rode.
