Need throttle hookup help.

[emedio]

I have this go kart, honestly no idea what it is. I think its a trick brand go kart. Anyway, I need help I've never seen this style throttle hookup (I'm guessing its a older kind) But does anyone have any idea what i would need to buy assuming I'm missing parts for this to connect to my engine?

Neat kart.

Suspect it is a combination solid throttle rod (at the front of the kart) and uses a flexible throttle cable for the back half. Might be a specialized part that can be found online, but it looks the the cable’s sheath is clamped to the frame on the right side of pic #1 while the cable is fastened to the rod with a nut or something on the left….

I bet @anderkart would know.

It is, but I feel the engine is migrating south. I swear I've seen them with the engine more in the middle of the frame as it suits better, more neutral handling but idk.

Yes, just like hellion said here, to be honest, bicycle brake cables work just fine on go kart applications. Clamp the outer housing down to the frame where Hellion said, and find a few correct size bolts that will thread onto the throttle rod and pinch the inner "wire" cable between the bolts. Not the "correct way" but will work just fine.
