[Honda-C70] bicycle brake cable as replacement throttle cable

 

just a heads up to anybody needing a replacement throttle cable.

i've just started working on my 1981 c70 passport - just bought it out of someone's yard a week ago - definitely inexperienced here. as i was removing the old carburetor to install the new one i bought, i couldn't get the pin out and had to cut the throttle cable. now totally confused and frustrated, i needed a new throttle cable. so i went to my local cycle shop and bought a road bike brake cable. it has this nub on the end and with a little work with a dremel tool, i was able to shave it down to fit perfectly in the groove at the bottom of the assembly that slides down into the carb.

just thought i would pass on a good solution!
