Throttle cable

[bert8975]

I have a go kart with a picture of a bird and it says red talon on it, if anybody knows who the maker is that would be great. The gokart is a two seater. I need a new throttle cable for it. The throttle cable has a bent end on the wire that hooks into the rod for the throttle. I can not find a cable like that any help would be appreciated. thanks.

I think it's the kind with a wound metal housing and a solid wire inside, rather than a true cable. You may be able to use a braided cable to pull, and a spring to pull it back the other way if you can't find a solid wire like the original.

If you want one like the original, go to a power equipment/lawnmower shop. That type of cable is used a lot on mowers.

yea most are universal, and if not they are very easy to make fit. Just go to your local store/mower shop and they will have it. If you use brake cable make sure its the one with that little link on the end.
