just snapped the threads on the choke cable 8 Months ago  
well I was mounting the choke back on the pump bracket when I guess I tightened the locknut to tight and she broke off in the middle of the threads, suppose I'll have to buy another complete cable assembly, don't suppose I can superglue the broken plastic threads and hope it holds on... Is the cable hard to change out?

Boy how dumb! I would never do that - wait - I did do that!

Not hard to change out, but be prepared for some sticker shock when you price one. I tried the super glue thing with no luck. Yammi loves guys like us!

Yep, I'll second that!oertightened the nut and snapped the threads.You think that part could of been made with something other than plastic? tried superglue-wishful thinking. If I remember correctly I think the cable cost me around 110 dollars and was ery easy to replace. Did Musky's choke trim at the same time.

HI MR. BLK C B,

SORRY ABOUT THE BROKEN CABLE. BEFORE YOU BUY A COMPLETE CABLE TRY GOING TO THE WEB SITE FOR SOUTH SEATTLE SPORTS PLAZA. THEY HAVE ALL OUR BIKE PARTS IN EXPLODED VIEWS SO ALL YOU MAY HAVE TO GET IS THE PLASTIC PART THAT BROKE.
I JUST LOOKED IT UP & IT WAS REAL INEXPENSIVE. JUST A THOUGHT.

Hi Buds,

I checked that site and I do not see anywhere where they sell clutch line assembly parts. Am I missing something.
