Accelerator cable question Options

[patssle]

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?

Thanks Jay. I did some searching and there were more results for Terry around here. But good Terry posts were followed up with good GEMO posts, and Terry negative experiences were matched by GEMO negative experiences .

But there is more of a Terry following, so I went with the product that has more of a history. They may be equal, but peace of mind. And ordered a Terry clutch cable as a backup in case that goes too!
