Throttle Cable Repair Kit??
My throttle cable is lose, secondaries are hardly opening... I need to take some slack out of the cable, and i was wondering if there was any sort of kit you can buy that has the female end that connects to the ball on the carburetor?? Mine is permanently attached to the cable, but if I could find a replacement end I have enough slack in the cable to fix it.
I'd like to avoid replacing the whole cable.. Any ideas??

Thanks for the tip guys.. Mine seems to have more slack than the ty-wrap will fix. When I take off the female end of the connection from the carb. I can pull about 1 inch of slack out of the throttle cable. I was blown away when I realized this. Just bought the car about 2 weeks ago. I found these (below) and was thinking I could pull out the slack in the cable, cut it and replace with a new connection for the carb...
