Well I'm into fabricating and fixing just about anything. So I measured the inner and outer cable with my vernier calipers and compared it to a "universal throttle cable" at Lowes and imagine that.... The same...so I flushed the old cable out lubed with marvel mystery oil, stuck the new innards in and cut to length.... And now I have a buttery smooth throttle cable for $9....sure as heck beats the assembly the dealer wants $69 for!
Next time try Dri-slide, the Graphite works good in cable sheaths.
--worked good in 'nam too
