I was out for a drive today and heard a snap....my accelerator became a little mushy - but still easily driveable. Made it home, removed the cable from my carb linkage, pulled a little out in the front, and half the cable had snapped, with a couple twines holding it together. Whew.
So I'm looking at new cables on Pelican, and have read here the Terry cable is a good buy, but it looks different. From the picture, much of the twine is exposed. My current cable has the rubber covering most of it from the firewall to the linkage and a nut to tighten it against the cable mount for the carb linkage - and haven't noticed any twine in the tunnel. Is it suppose to be just uncovered twine in the tunnel?  |

That's probably because your old cable liner was shot. or the end bent, or... In theory you shouldn't notice a difference at all.
