Broken Throttle Cable, Temporary Fix
So sadly, my throttle cable snapped I'll be ordering a new one tomorrow, but in the mean time I need to get this bike in working condition asap.
The cable snapped about an inch from the end with the nub that locks into the clutch lever. Has anyone used JB Weld to join two cables? This would only be temporary (for like a couple days, I need the bike ASAP as it is what I make my income off of). Thanks Cal |

JB Weld will definitely not work.
I've use solder to re-join the cable once. |

Also check with Moto Java. They seem to have a lot of stuff for smaller older bikes.
