  • MaxII throttle cable

    Finally got my Max back from my now ex-FIL. He had it at our church for several years. Anyway, a couple of issues but the main one is a broken throttle cable. It has the stranded control cable. I have access to 1/16” aircraft control cable but I’m wondering why that and not a solid wire (i.e. choke cable) cable. Is there anything wrong with running a solid wire thru the housing instead of stranded control cable? Thanks!

      I saw that last night, thanks. Looks like I have to replace the whole thing anyway. The cable came out from about a foot in from the handle but back at the engine it ain’t budging. Probably corroded inside where it broke and stuck.

        Stens # 260-182, or Peerless #786201 $12.... Cut the ball end off and you're in business.

        Same thing goes for that $35 choke cable.... R21CX10 $14

        Fabricating brackets this morning to run motorcycle tensioners and the rollers are 19MM wide so they'll work fine for # 50 Chain. $7 each on Amazon...... "XtremeAmazing Heavy Duty Chain Roller Tensioner "
