I am not sure if this is the issue, but with cars I have seen a rare issue where the engine is not grounded correctly and the throttle cable acts as a ground. What happens is the cable gets hot and breaks off at one of the ends.... Not sure if this is your issue, but it may be worth a try....

Was this a new or used cable?

This is actually a fairly common problem with Argo. The throttle assembly is an item that I have at least one back up in reserve. I do this because I took a 5 mile ride through the swamp when my first one broke, I had to improvise a throttle cable from bailing wire and a screw driver, got me back to the truck but I learned my lesson. I may rig up a thumb throttle instead of the twist unit at some point.
The Argo throttles are not well made anymore.

well I did replace the starter some time ago and the ground wire clam was not put back onto the side of the motor because I lost the screw but did find it show I will be putting that back on.Maybe I should go with the thumb throttle to seems to be better from what peopleare saying.Do you still use the same cable because I just got a new one yesterday

I actually had a spare made at an atv specialty shop, they used a higher quality ball unit in the twist throttle which seemed to do the trick. The cost was $30.
