  • Throttle Cable Assembly. Complete

    Looking for a throttle cable assembly, complete from the knob to the carb attachment.

    Mine broke on Sunday while on base to final when I pulled the throttle back and... it all came out leaving the engine at 1,600 RPM.....well cut the mags since I had the landing strip made, side slipped and landed very quietly..... Upon inspection, the cable/wire snapped about 4-6 inches from the carb attachment.

    Can the wire be replaced? If so, where do I find it?

    Called Brownsville and they dont have any.

    Any ideas? Parts Sources?

    Appreciate the help

          Replaced the internal wire, after a visit to our friendly tractor supply.
