If you want a cable that goes from the carb to your throttle, I have used a brake cable. You can file down the "ball" on the end to the shape of your original cable end that goes into the slide on the carb. I got a whole package of bike cables at Walmart for a few bucks.

Explain a little better what you mean. There is just 1 throttle cable.
Goes from throttle to handlebar.
What do you mean from engine ?

ok so from the enigne itself there is a cable that comes out, and from the carb there is a cable that comes out. Now those to cables that come out join each other let say after 30 cm so that you only pull on one cable which in turn pulls the other two, my problem is that i want to extend those cables so that it would connect to my pedals

Ok now i understand two cables. Can you post a pic of the engine and the cables, sounds like it has oil injection. If it does then you can eliminate that and use one cabe then premix gas.

I wouldn't,
You can extend the single cable side by welding a new cable to the old Y connector.

Or just find one that is long enough (what length do you need?)

Well, I don't say it's a bad idea, but personally I'd like to run machines 'as issued', mainly because I think hte makers had a reason for making it this way in the first place.
And if there's a simple solution for something like the throttle cable, I don't see any reason for changing the lubrification of the engine.

You don't go and change your tires, just because the headlight died, right?

i understand your reasoning but to me i like to simplify and have 1 single cable to break than the chance of the oiler snap and not lube. also it eliminates the need for a second tank to mount for oil.

U need the oil tank

It's like saying u can run an electric kart by ditching the controller and using an on off switch
It's real simple
But it's inefficient and has its limits

U require different oil flows for different rpm conditions

Do u run a mix for full noise
Half throttle
Or idle

If u mix for one the others are going to suffer with power
The engine will deteriorate faster as well
Either in a lean running condition
Or in gumbed up part from over oiling

really,I didn't even know that these oilers aren't linear (ie constant mix ratio), but now that you say so. it almost makes sense.

good to know :D
